Jerry Porter will wear #81 with Brown's blessing - Oakland Raiders Forum | Message Board

omorales81 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-25-2005, 06:30 AM

It's all but done. Porter called yesterday Tim Brown and said he'd only switch to # 81 if Brown physically handed him the jersey. Brown said he would be honored. Also, Porter hinted at Tim Brown coming over to retire as a Raider - one of those Emmitt Smith deals. Maybe that's when the jersey exchange would take place, allowing Moss to wear 84 ... for a price.

It's on like donkey kong!

Seeing Porter wear #81 would be difficult to stomach but whatever happens, happens I guess!

If were Porter - I wouldn't give Moss my number.. it's just the principal of it all.. Porter finally deserves to wear his number after years of hiding in the wings behind Rice and Brown. I think it's an insult to even assume that this will happen and I myself am glad this thread is in the rumors section..

Moss should wear #88. Its was his # at Marshall.

That's what I was gonna suggest.Let Moss go back to #88.Thsi way, Porter keeps #84.Brown can retire w/ #81.And Moss can get his freak on w/ #88.All is good

That's true but JP took the initiative to place the call himself. Meaning one, he wants to do his best to foster a 'team' attitude and is doing what he can to make Moss welcome or B, 81 is THE number when it comes to the Raiders and JP WANTS to wear 81...personally, I think it's a combination of both. Either way though, it looks like the team is trying to come together as a 'team' and JP is trying to step up into a leadership role. Listen to the interview, he made it clear that he's all for the signing and he and KC spoke about it BUT he also made it clear that things will be fine as long as noone starts complaining about balls and touches. That theres plenty to go around. That sounded like the beginnings of welcome aboard and lets play...don't start no sh!t and there won't be no sh!t and lets get out there and do this. Decent feelings about this offseason so far...

I read the other thread regarding his interview.. I still think we need to hear from Randy first - he may not even want Porter's number.. no a class act would be for Randy to come in and get the number he's assigned without whining..

How you think i am going to feel if jp wears my timmy #81, I am just glad jp had the class to call timmy up and ask his permission and real classy by my timmy of granting jp permission to wear 81 but yes i hope moss doesn't whine about the number situation.

whoever says it is done deal its not just cause jp ask timmy to wear 81 doesn't mean it will happen either. It be up to al davis if jp gonna wear 81 or not.
