There are only a limited amount of numbers, even if we use the number "bleen", which George Carlin says was discovered between 6 and 7.
Don't retire Tedy's number, and un-retire all previously retired numbers.
Retiring numbers is a short-sighted way to honor a player, find another way to honor the player and keep all available numbers for current players.
If you want to remember that "Stone Hands" Simpson is wearing Tedy Bruschi's old number and Tedy wouldn't have dropped that pick, well then Tedy still resides in your memory, where he should be.
