DeVante Parker jokes on Twitter about wanting Matthew Judon’s jersey number

The team doesn’t have anyone wearing No. 11. But Matthew Judon wears No. 9.

Matthew Judon may have put his foot in his mouth. The New England Patriots linebacker has played the role of social-media ambassador for the team. He tried recruiting free agents and potential trade targets. And whenever Bill Belichick made a signing, Judon reached out to extend a warm welcome.

Judon gave receiver DeVante Parker a shoutout after the Patriots agreed to terms on a trade for him this weekend. Judon told Parker: “If you need anything let me know.” And Parker made his request.

“What about that 9 tho?” Parker wrote on Twitter on Monday.

Judon’s jersey number is nine for the Patriots. Parker, who wore No. 11 with the Dolphins, wore No. 9 for the Louisville Cardinals.

The team doesn’t have anyone wearing No. 11. So that seems like the number Parker will likely wear when joining the Patriots — unless Judon is feeling extremely generous.
