When Feagles signed with the Giants in 2003, he selected number 10 for the 2003 season. He wore #10 for the whole 2003 season. When the Giants drafted Quarterback Eli Manning, Manning wanted #10. He made a deal with Manning. If Feagles gave Manning #10, Manning would have to pay for Feagles’ family vacation toFlorida. Feagles switched to #17. Then, before the 2005 season, the Giants signed WR Plaxico Burress, who wanted Feagles current number, 17. He made a deal with Burress. The deal was if Burress paid for an outdoor kitchen Feagles was making, he could have number 17. Upon Plaxico Burress’ departure from the Giants, Feagles took back the number 17. However, Feagles once again switched back to #18 for the start of the season once WR Hakeem Nicks switched from #18 to #88, after Michael Matthews was traded to the New England Patriots.
