New Buccaneers jersey numbers officially revealed

For the majority of his stint with the Falcons, Gage donned the same number he did in college at LSU, No. 83, before switching to No. 14 in his most recent season.
As Bucs’ fans know, Chris Godwin is the owner of the No. 14 for the team so it makes sense that Gage will be in a different jersey number this season. It also appears that Gage won’t be going back to No. 83, perhaps to show respect for late Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson.
Safety Keanu Neal plans to return to his number No. 22 jersey number that he had with the Atlanta Falcons after switching to No. 42 last season with the Dallas Cowboys.
