Mark Campbell received $20,000 to give up number 83 to Lee Evans.

All Shea would reveal was that he didn't get as much for the jersey as former teammate Mark Campbell, who made Buffalo rookie wide receiver Lee Evans pay him $20,000 for No. 83 with the Bills.
"I didn't get a deal like Campbell got," said Shea. "Campbell robbed the guy. I guess I have to work on my negotiating skills."
That's funny. Hey rookie welcome to the NFL. Now go out there and score some TD's.
What about those who already bought Campbell and Evans jerseys?
Pretty poor time to do it!
I already did it's an Evans #83 jersey. It was announced 83 was Evans jersey for like 2-3 months now.Originally Posted by G. Host
But some people bought jerseys before announcement. I know someone with "Soup" on front and "Campbell" on back.
Maybe they ought to use Velcro for numbers!
There is a line in the Xmas movie "It's a wonderful life" When Stewart and Reed are walking home from the dance. The old man on the porch says "youth it's wasted on the wrong people"
I would say after reading this that the old man on the porch was right. $20,000 for a number!!!

I knew they had already switched. I just happened to notice how much he paid in the article regarding Kellen Winslow Jr.
Excuse me, I didn't know it had already been posted.
Chill out!!!
First time I've seen or heard about it
When did mark campbell get #83? Last year dave moore was 83 and campbell was 84. man thats a good chunk of change for not even playing in that jersey.
Become one with nature.........then marinate it!
Campbell took #83 after Moore left
Turned out to be a $20,000 move. I guess it didn't have that much sentimental value after all.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
I like that!
Nobody should be wearing 83 like nobody is wearing 78 or 34.

Same here... Interesting. Dieon wants his # as well but I think It will cost a bit more!!!First time I've seen or heard about it
@Hemlepp53
Deion ended up taking #37......his age. Weird. Anyway, McCallister wears #21 and he's the best DB on the team. I doubt he coughs it up.
Any one wants to give me $20,000 they can have my name and my dog.

It's news to me bro!
McCallister offered him the number when Deion signed, but Deion turned it down.

See... I was hoping McCallister wouldnt fold. I'm glad he earned his # and should keep it. The whole taking 37 after his age thing is kinda gay dont ya think? Unless he didnt have a choice in what has left and figured it sounded like a reason so he might as well use it...
