<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);">JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars rookie cornerback Jalen Ramseyrecently got a $15 million signing bonus so he can afford a lot of things.

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);">A huge home. Luxury cars. A small yacht. Top-level designer clothing and jewelry. Maybe even invest in a couple of local business opportunities.

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);">However, there’s one thing that he won’t have enough funds for: The No. 23 jersey.

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);">That currently belongs to second-year safety James Sample and he says he’s not giving it up regardless of what kind of offer Ramsey makes.

<p style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);">"Me and him talked about it, but this year, I’m going to be wearing 23," Sample said Tuesday.

Cut him... Lol

---

Shock the world

How dare he.


 

 

This was actually a good move by Sample because we're all going to know his number now.

'02

38 looks good on him.

---

I never understood this whole number thing. How is one number better than another number?

It's all about dumb jocks blowing huge amounts of money on stupid stuff.  Many of them end up broke shortly after their NFL career.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

I hope Sample gets a chance to start now and make a name for himself.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

Cut him

---

Sample shouldnt give his number up to no rook. Why should we cut Sample again?

---

Im lost, cut Sample because he wont give his number up to an unproven rookie?

Yeah, that's how I read it, although I also figured he's joking.

In fairness, what exactly has Sample proven as 2nd year player?

---

You guys know that the team owns and controls numbers, right? They could pretty easily just say, "Hey, James, here's a $23 gift certificate to Baskin Robbins. Now go to the equipment room to pick a new number," if they felt like it.

How to heal from a broken arm!

You either die as a good poster, or live long enough to become the troll.

Yep cutting him is the answer (sarcasm)

---

Lol, I know you guys and gals aren't taking Hurricane seriously.

---

In fairness, what exactly has Sample proven as 2nd year player?

whos number is it?

whos number is it?

 

Shad Khan's

So status wise I suppose a 3rd year UDFA who has been cut twice and bounces back and forth between practice squad and active roster trumps that of a top five pick rookie?

 

Makes sense.
