**Jaxson Dart Declines Teammate’s Price for Preferred Jersey Number, Calls It ‘Too Much’**
In a shocking turn of events that has left the sports world reeling, Jaxson Dart, the star quarterback of the University of Mississippi, has officially declined a teammate’s outrageous offer for his preferred jersey number, declaring it “too much.” The number in question? A modest 7, which Dart claims is “the number of touchdowns I plan to throw this season—if I can afford it.”
The drama unfolded during a heated practice session when Dart’s teammate, linebacker Chuck “The Bargain” McGee, approached him with a proposal that would make even the most seasoned negotiators blush. “I told Jaxson I’d let him wear my number for a cool $5,000,” McGee said, adjusting his oversized shoulder pads. “I mean, it’s just a number! What’s next? Charging for air?”
Dart, however, was not impressed. “I thought we were teammates, not business partners,” he quipped, adding, “I can’t even afford a decent pizza with that kind of cash. Plus, I’m saving up for a new pair of cleats that don’t look like they’ve been through a mud wrestling match.”
In a surprising twist, Dart suggested a trade instead: “How about I give you my old socks? They’re lucky, and I’m pretty sure they still have some of last season’s magic left in them.” McGee, visibly torn, replied, “Socks? I mean, I do need something to mop up the locker room floor…”
As the negotiations continue, fans are left wondering if this jersey number saga will end in a dramatic showdown or if Dart will simply opt for the classic “I’ll just wear 8 and pretend it’s a 7” strategy. Meanwhile, McGee has reportedly started a GoFundMe page titled “Help Me Help Jaxson,” which currently has a whopping $3.75 in donations—mostly from his mom.
Stay tuned as this story develops, and remember: in the world of college football, numbers aren’t just numbers; they’re a way to make a quick buck… or at least a pair of lucky socks.
