If he had, the NFL wouldn\u2019t have allowed him to change jersey numbers, and 99 wouldn\u2019t have been available to Smith.<\/p>\n<p>Smith told reporters in Detroit on Friday that he was offered numbers in the 60s, 70s or 80s but, \u201cI was like, no way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was like, who has No. 99? They told me who he was and we looked his number up and called him real quick,\u201d Smith said of Martin. \u201cThankful to him, a guy from Alabama, Tuscaloosa, had a chance to talk to him a little while, and I had to pay up a little bit, but all is well. I got No. 99 now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked what the going rate is for a jersey number among NFL players, Smith declined to specify a dollar amount but indicated it was between $1,000 and $9,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe going rate? There\u2019s three zeros on the end of it,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to tell you the exact price, but for sure, he\u2019s going to have some good money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Smith has a good jersey number, the same one he wore in Cleveland.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '206053216266379',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/zadarius-smith-paid-brodric-martin-thousands-of-dollars-to-wear-no-99-jersey-in-detroit\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When defensive end Za\u2019Darius Smith was traded from the Browns to the Lions, one of his first priorities was to secure his preferred jersey number, 99.
