I don’t get how CP is wearing 84. Shouldn’t that number have been retired when Roddy went in the ring of honor? I know Russell wanted to wear 10 but they said no because it was Steve’s number. Shouldn’t that go for 84 as well?

The Falcons do not have any numbers officially retired I don’t believe, even though no one wears #60, #10, #31 or r #87 which leads me to think that some of the numbers of some great players are retired but others aren’t
