Ring of Fame...

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:

Ring of fame is just that, a Ring of Fame. 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.
