Since he has to buyout all the inventory, does he get the actual jerseys?

I heard about this. And he really has to pay for all those shirts? Was this like, a big problem in the world of NFL merchandising, and they finally had to put their foot down so they could recoup their investment? On all those #54 jerseys?

I take this as a bad sign for society. That they even had to, or decided to institute this harsh rule.... and that a player would actually spend that much money just so he could change his jersey number. Not good....

Maybe if he flies to Tanzania?
