Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty has learned that securing your desired jersey number in the NFL can be quite costly. Jeanty, who was selected in the first round of the draft, had to invest several thousand dollars just to wear his preferred No. 2 jersey. The hefty price tag was a result of negotiations with the current holder of the number, kicker Daniel Carlson.

This experience highlights the often-overlooked financial aspects of joining a professional sports team, particularly for rookies eager to establish their identity on the field.
