Bucs Players to Change Jersey Numbers

A handful of Tampa Bay players will have new numbers to go along with their new uniforms.

The alarm-clock font is gone for everyone, but some Tampa Bay Buccaneers players will be making other changes to their jersey numbers this season. 

While the Bucs' new uniform launch dominated fans' attention Tuesday, that wasn't the only team news. Also released were new numbers for several players on both sides of the ball (via The Athletic's Greg Auman):

One more: Bucs safety Andrew Adams, who wore 26 in 2018 but got bumped to 39 last season, is back to 26, since Sean Murphy-Bunting moved from 26 to 23.

More Bucs jersey news: New tackle Joe Haeg will wear 73. Corner Carlton Davis moves from 33 to 24 (which was Darian Stewart). John Franklin (bumped from 14 by Godwin) is now 19 (which was Breshad Perriman). Sean Murphy-Bunting goes from 26 to 23.

The biggest changes come for the Bucs secondary. Carlton Davis, Sean Murphy-Bunting and Andrew Adams will all wear new numbers in 2020.

Newcomer Joe Haeg will don No. 73. The last player to wear that number was offensive tackle Anthony Collins, who played just one season after signing a five-year, $30 million contract in 2014.

Tampa Bay's new uniforms are a nod to the team's glory days, returning to a more classic design, while also featuring an all-pewter Color Rush alternate set.
