Football teams only have so many numbers with the expansion of rosters. Every team has already retired a few worn by their former stars. A player like Tom Brady should definitely have his retired at some point.
Where do you draw the line? The Pats gave out Rob Gronkowski's #87 to rookie 7th round pick, Tre Nixon.
Many fans were upset and expressed outrage on social media, but teams must look at their future needs for issuing numbers.
When LB Tedi Bruschi retired, he said that his number should be worn by other players and keep the legacy of it alive. Many players wore it before him. Donte Hightower is doing a good job with it so far.
