Jimmy Graham will have a new uniform number with Seattle Seahawks

In addition to changing teams this week, former New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham will also change his uniform number. Graham said he might wear No. 88 with the Seattle Seahawks because the No. 80 he wore with the Saints is not available with the Seahawks.

Hall of Fame receiver Steve Largent wore No. 80 for the Seahawks, and the number is one of three player-worn number retired by the team. Others are No. 71 for offensive tackle Walter Jones and No. 96 for defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy.

Also retired his the No. 12 as a tribute to fans.

The Seahawks brought the No. 80 out of retirement in 2004 for Jerry Rice toward the end of his Hall of Fame career.
