If you click on a link in the forums to a free agent, you can change his position and number.

So far have only tested of mobile. Might not work on the desktop site.

I am unable to duplicate this, could you point me to a specific example?

Punisher's James Harrison thread.

While he was still a free agent I was able change his number to 98 to match the real life counterpart.

I don't think I should be able to do that.

here is that thread = https://cust17.myfootballnow.com/community/thread/1/2008?page=1#12788
here is that player = https://mfn16.myfootballnow.com/player/5602

btw he wasn't a free agent because I drafted him so I am guessing you were able to change his jersey # before he was drafted.

Unless he changed it after he was drafted by me and that's why he has that number on his jersey on my team.

Thanks for the details - this has been fixed.
