That’s what he wanted. And believing he’d get what he wants isn’t the same thing as lsu telling him he would. And again if he wants his legacy at lsu removed from the university fine. It doesn’t make it less petty childish and dumb to act that way over a number not being retired.
-
Nobody’s worn burrows number either. Which I believe was the treatment jd expected based on his relationship with them. He was fine letting them make millions off him for free. They pissed him off. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. I’m siding with the athlete over the megamillion(billion?) school
-
For real. I am an LSU season ticket holder so i really appreciate him but this stuff is pretty disgustingly petty behavior. People here in Baton Rouge are done with him over this.

Jayden is pissed someone is wearing 5 at LSU, and is sending a cease and desist for all promotional material with him, and demanding LSU’s copy of the Heisman Trophy (even though there’s always a copy of the trophy for the player, and one for the school)
-
If he just wants to play football and solely focus on training camp, he wouldn’t be spending a single second of his time on a jersey number from college.
-
I mean that's the agreement he had with LSU. They shouldn't get a freebie to break it.
-
No it isn’t, LSU is a public institution, anything like a cease and desist is going to be a matter of public record when it involves a public university I believe
-
Yes I understand, but there was no rule against someone using his number. Just because Kelly didn’t let someone use it, doesn’t mean Kiffin couldn’t let someone use it. And yeah. That would be insane for schools not to be allowed to play highlights and stuff in game. They aren’t making meaningful extra money just by showing that video in stadium…
-
I also think it’s underrated how much an agent acts as a buffer between player and team to protect from feelings getting hurt, whereas a parent is just as likely to get their feelings hurt as the player themselves.
-
You are using something that happened 6+ years ago as proof of what happened today? Wow, you're desperate. Again, show me your sources stating his mom was behind this. There are none. He is scared of falling into obscurity so he is boosting his ego by dwelling on past accomplishments. Its pathetic.
-
Here would have been a better statement: I have rescinded the cease and desist notice and I am apologizing to all parties. Thank you to all the Commander fans, LSU fans and football fans everywhere for your support. My focus is on my job, my teammates and the great Commanders fans that I love!
-
Weird, I saw a lot of fans making a whole story about how giving out his number violated his NIL deal with the school so he was justified. Now it's unrelated? And no kidding he can't do anything about the trophy. But his team (mom) demanded it in his name and he hasn't said shit to counter that.
-
Wanting your jersey retired after 2 years, being given a solid cast including nabers, Campbell and more offensively and zero bowl games won is unacceptable
-
"Like we give a fuck" Well considering all the posts on /r/nfl and social media coming out with pitchforks it's literally why.
-
No he's focused on throwing a temper tantrum, I could not imagine burrow pulling this shit and he actually won with LSU.
-
These comments are crazy man genuinely nobody took the time to understand what the actual reason is for his grievances with lsu and how hes not asking for the number to be retired
-
He had another agent when he was drafted right but there was all the drama about how he didn't want to get picked by Washington because he felt disrespected?
-
I mean if he doesn't want LSU selling things based on his NIL without being compensated I don't blame him for telling them no. Might look a bit whiny now but he shouldn't be forced to let LSU profit off of him for free.
-
You’re everywhere in this thread doing damage control for your boy but it ain’t working. He’s a clown.
-
“Obviously there are issues to be worked out” No, big dog, that’s not obvious at all. There are some issues that you need to work out, clearly.
-
You know who’s a well adjusted friend of his? Brandon Aiyuk. That’s a guy with good sense who can guide him out of this.
-
It's a copy and they give one to the team every year. Who would they "return" it to? The Heisman Trust isn't going to take it back. So Daniels just wants 2 trophies?
