pR0JEkT 21 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wanted to know where we can get a list of all Redskin players that are in the ring of fame over here in Washington. Now does the ring of fame mean that the players number is officially retired with the team? Noticed that Rypien and Doug Williams both do not have their jersey's retired with the team and I find that kinda odd, noticed it when Campbell first took over the 17 and now when Thomas grabbed the 11..I mean my gosh both the qb's were super bowl mvp's if that doesn't cut it what does? :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Sammy Baugh is the only Redskin to have had his number retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else comes with that honor, and it is an honor into of itself. As TK said, Only Baugh's number is retired. There are several that will not be officially issued though.
