Running back LenDale White said Wednesday that he is working on getting his college jersey number, 21, with the Titans. White has worn No. 25 during his first three NFL seasons, because cornerback Reynaldo Hill had No. 21. White said financial details of making the switch are still pending. Were still working on that. Its still in the works, White said. Its definitely the league. The NFL and Reebok, theyve got to get their cash. You just cant change the number. Theyve got to get some of that money.

Not that this is a huge deal, but do these athletes think about the fans at all when they are making these switches? These jerseys aren't cheap and they are constantly going up in price.
