5 Eagles who would have to write a big check to switch jersey numbers in 2021

The new ruled proposed by the Chiefs now allows expansion of jersey numbers available to players:

— QB: 1-19
— WR: 1-49, 80-89
— RB: 1-49, 80-89
— TE: 1-49, 80-89
— DB: 1-49
— LB: 1-59, 90-99
— OL: 50-79
— DL: 50-79, 90-99

With the news that this is definitely happening, players around the league have been hinting at switching their numbers.

Eagles cornerback Darius Slay joined the fray, hinting at a switch to Jalen Hurts’ former No. 2 or Nick Foles’s No. 9.

Any Eagles player looking to immediately switch numbers will have to make sure it’s worth it financially thanks to a rule that says the player must buy all remaining inventory of unsold jerseys with the player’s current number.

That player must purchase the jerseys at retail prices from the Fanatics supply.

If a player chooses to give the notice to change his number for the 2022 NFL season, he won’t have to pay anything.

Vikings star running back Dalvin Cook changed his mind when he realized a jersey switch would cost him over $1 million.

Here are five Eagles who would have a huge check to write.
