Fortunately for Sean Weatherspoon, getting his old No. 56 Atlanta Falcons jersey back wasn't a difficult task.
The veteran linebacker, who played one year with the Arizona Cardinals before returning this offseason, was prepared to go in another direction if Brooks Reed was unwilling to part with the number. Instead, Reed agreed to take the No. 50 worn by former Falcons outside linebacker O'Brien Schofield last year.
So did Weatherspoon have to pay a little out of pocket to get his number back?
"No, I didn't have to," he said.
