Cowboys linebacker Jaylon Smith is willing to pay a pretty penny to switch his jersey number.

Smith, under the NFL’s revised jersey number rules, will make the switch from No. 54 to No. 9 — the number he wore at Notre Dame. Under the new rules, defensive backs and linebackers can wear any number from 1-49.

Smith will, however, need to shell out a mid-six-figure cost to make it official, according to ESPN.

Per NFL rules, players opting to switch their number this coming season are required to buy out the current inventory of their original number. Players willing to wait until 2022 to switch numbers won’t be required to pay for inventory.

“It’s been a part of my life. I’ve been wearing No. 9 since I was 9 years old, through pee wee, middle school, high school, college, All-American games, you name it,” Smith explained. “No. 9 is a part of me. It’s really just a blessing to be able to continue the legacy.”

Before declaring the switch, Smith reportedly reached out to Cowboys alum Tony Romo, who sported No. 9 throughout his entire tenure in Dallas from 2003-2016. He also received owner and general manager Jerry Jones’ approval to make the number swap, ESPN reports.

For Smith, the meaning behind his number switch is more important than money.

“It’s about value over cost,” Smith said. “Definitely a blessing being able to play for the Dallas Cowboys, so working out the terms the right way. Really, I’m just thankful to be in the No. 9 and have an opportunity to turn this thing around this year. We’re all here focused. We’re locked in, and we know what we need to accomplish.”

Smith initially chose to wear No. 54 with the Cowboys because the numbers added up to nine.

The NFL’s revised jersey number rules received mixed reviews from players, including Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, who called the new mandate “dumb” on social media in April.
