Knowing that fans wouldn't want to be wearing the jersey of someone arrested on murder charges, the Patriots made the right move by offering a jersey exchange for fans owning the now infamous jersey. Now that the two-day exchange is underway, we're seeing tweets of just how many people turned out.

Options are rather limited unless you're exchanging a game replica jersey. Luckily, Tom Brady is on the exchange list in all four categories as is tight end Rob Gronkowski.
