The swap of jerseys was a win-win for the players and the team.
The number 14 that he has worn throughout his career as a quarterback will be given to him by the New Orleans Saints.
A more slimmed down No. 5 jersey will be worn by the player.
When he came back to New Orleans in a trade, he tried to explain his angst over the unappealing jersey number choices.

There was nothing in the 20s or single digits available. It seemed the best of the worst, that's why he decided to go with 14.
He didn't like numbers in the 30s because they were too large for him.
"I don't want 30s," he stated. It's too large. I'm not very tall. I need a number that will fit me.
"Unless something changes I am going to rock No. 14"
