WFT's Jason Wright Apologizes for 'Short Notice' of Sean Taylor Jersey Retirement

Washington Football Team president Jason Wright apologized for the franchise's rollout of the decision to retire Sean Taylor's No. 21 jersey.

The organization announced Thursday it will hold a ceremony during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Wright apologized because "the short notice does not properly reflect the impact Sean had."

Jason Wright

We wanted to do something long overdue by retiring players' numbers. Months ago we planned for Bobby Mitchell and Sean Taylor to be the first two. Seeing the reaction, I'm very sorry that the short notice does not properly reflect the impact Sean had.
