Open Extended ReactionsArt Monk retired as the NFL's leading receiver with 940 catches, but the number he made famous in Washington was 81. He becomes the sixth player in franchise history to have his number retired, joining Sammy Baugh, Bobby Mitchell, Darrell Green, Sonny Jurgensen and Sean Taylor. Monk retired after the 1995 season as the all-time leading receiver, but he's now 24th on the list. Former teammate and fellow receiver Gary Clark told Monk what the organization was doing. "This is a moment that's been a long time coming," Clark told Monk.
