Peterson said the following on Twitter, “So here is the deal with the number change! So I received a call and I was informed that I would’ve to buy all jerseys that’s been produced … Thus far! N the total amount that I would have to pay blew my mind!!!!!”
We’re not sure who told Peterson he have to pay $1 million to change his number, but that doesn’t seem like a logical number.
“When it comes to top sales ! Why in the hell do I have to pay a Million dollars to change my number! I don’t even get paid a million When it comes to top sales ! Why in the hell do I have to pay a Million dollars to change my number! I don’t even get paid a million Dollars by my sponsors a year! Wow!!!
“I have to pay a Million Bucks! Somebody’s winning in that situation & ITs not me! So clearly with that said I won’t be changing my number This years!”
Can’t blame Peterson for being upset, but then again, the NFL is a business and so is the jersey industry. If a player changes his number, any left over jerseys will really become obsolete.
