But my Rider fan friend told me Lenius was making $165K. That's a bit rich for our blood.


DH :cool:

Lenius was at $152K hard money on a re-worked deal for 2023. He didn't crack the 3D list of highest paid receivers for 2024 which cut off with Schaffer-Baker at $165K for #15.

Does anyone know why someone was wearing Hatcher’s #4?

Ronald Kent was issued that number at the start of camp. At the time, with 100 players on the roster, there were a lot of numbers duplicated on offence and defence. If Kent survives final cuts, he’ll probably be issued a new number.

Could be that with so many players at the start of camp and a fee retired numbers there has to be some duplicates. If Kent makes the team then either he takes a different number or maybe Hatcher is planning on donning a new number when he returns? Eberhardt and Harty both show as wearing 19


Looking at the current roster the following aren't found:
5, 7, 15, 22, 25, 30, 36, 37, 38, 39, 52, 53, 56, 60, 67, 70, 71, 72, 75, 76, 78, 81, 85, 97, 99 are not accounted for. There are some numbers there that were either worn by very recent cuts, not normally worn, retired or of significant historical importance that they don't get handed out lightly.
