If Gardner-Johnson follow through and gives up the number, expect Ingram to claim No. 22 and give No. 14 to Dalton. Otherwise, Dalton will be a signed either No. 5 Kareem Martin Jersey , 6, 8, Lawrence Taylor Jersey 9, 11, 12, 15, or 19. There are options, but No. 91 isn't really one of them, unle s he chooses to bulk up and change positions.
