New Rams defensive end Myles Garrett had to pay teammate Poona Ford to continue wearing his iconic No. 95 jersey. When asked about the number exchange at his introductory press conference, Garrett confirmed it cost him "more than a couple bucks" but declined to specify the exact amount. catcross.biz
The number change created a domino effect across the Rams roster. Ford switched to No. 97, defensive lineman Bill Norton moved from No. 97 to No. 93, and defensive lineman Payton Zdroik switched from No. 93 to No. 62. Garrett said he knew immediately after the trade that he'd want to contact Ford about acquiring the number, noting "he understood, and I'm glad to be sticking with No. 95."
