New England Patriots new boy JuJu Smith-Schuster reckons it will cost him £81,400 ($100,000) if he wants to remain wearing the No.9 jersey he donned with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The wide receiver secured a three-year £26.9million ($33 m) deal with the Patriots last week after opting to depart the Chiefs just weeks after winning the Super Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona.
But due to a peculiar NFL policy which requires players foot the bill of unsold jerseys should they switch numbers, Smith-Schuster estimates he will have to pay a hefty price to prize his preferred number away from defensive end Matthew Judon.
