There are stories upon stories about the prices athletes are willing to pay their teammates for numbers they covet. However, none are close to the goodness Graham Gano of the New York Giants displayed when he gave up his No. 5 to first-round pick Kayvon Thibodeaux.
Gano wore No. 5 for Big Blue because he has five children. Thibodeaux wanted the digit he wore at Oregon.
So, Gano negotiated a price for No. 5: $50,000.
