It's not my decision. Did someone ask for it? Players get ridiculous over their jersey numbers as it is.

This was an unbelievably dumb move by JD5 or whoever represents him. His legacy was cemented here forever already regardless of if anyone wore #5 ever again or not. As I said, I loved him, thought he represented LSU with total class, and I thought he had one of the best QB seasons of all time. Period.

It’s a completely unforced error by Jayden. Anyone with half a brain cell could have told him this would be a bad look.


I think it’s stupid too, but I’m sure more info will come out about this. I’m not ready to tar and feather him like the mob has told me to do with Brees, Les, Pawl, and the like.

He should have told his mom and/or agent to back off and shut up if they were behind all of this. He's a grown man, he can speak for himself.

His legacy is cemented in college football - he won the most prestigious trophy in the sport. That's free marketing for LSU that we've forfeited for a player who at best could win the Thorpe (all due respect, hope he does and would be a hell of an accomplishment). Can you name the past five, or even two, Thorpe winners? I can't...

How the frick is this being down voted!? I underestimated the number of total fricking idiots on here. #5 should be retired, Jayden won the HEISMAN TROPHY and losers on here want to get on their knees for a cornerback who will hopefully be as good as Kevin Toliver II. Give me a fricking break.


This guy gets it!

I am so disgusted by the Daniels family on this one.

Do you think Joe would care if 9 was issued? I doubt very seriously he's this soft. I don't understand worrying about a number. This is absolutely nuts to me. Very disappointed by Daniels here. Spurrier's number was retired at Florida and he made them un-retire it. This is so silly to care about someone wearing a number you once wore. What in the world? Wants nothing to do with LSU, because someone else wants to wear 5? What in the world?

This is ridiculous. I can't believe this is even a real thing right now. He seemed like the most carefree guy ever. How about be thankful for what you did at LSU. Not care about a number.

So what? Just retired Heisman number ever? Retiring numbers really needs to stop.

There are so many other ways to honor a player. No need for this.

Steve Spurrier made Florida un-retire his number and he won a Heisman.

Tebow won a Heisman and 2 Natties at Florida and is one of the biggest/greating players in all college football history and Florida never retired his number.

Why does Daniels care? I don't understand caring about that. He seemed like the most carefree guy ever. The most team guy. I guess that's not true. Very disappointing.

"Feels disrespected" Good grief. Burrow would not care IMO.

Tebow the greatest player ever in college as an Lsu fan its pure delusional to put burrow over a 3 year starter good every year.

But point is he isn’t bitching so why is daniels?

JD is a punk arse bitch. Screw him. Not a true Tiger.

Another stain in Bruan Kelly era.

I guess he will be using his high school on Monday Nught Football on lineups.

True #5 is Wickersham or Green

Former LSU coach Brian Kelly told ESPN on Wednesday that he believed No. 5 was promised to Pickett during his recruitment, but Kelly chose not to issue it to him because Daniels wasn't on board with Pickett wearing his number.

So Kelly lied to Pickett. Color me shocked.

Did JD rear end LSU?

Anyway, I never understand why players are such absolute bitches when it comes to this…but getting your feelings hurt over this is one thing, Jayden is on a whole other level with this though. Total bitch move and tarnishes his legacy more than someone wearing his old number

This is stupid on many levels. I remember seeing someone else wear 15 at Florida and thought it was interesting. Apparently that’s just the way it is.

LSU is having an extraordinary time right now with brand recognition. I guess if this is how the Daniels family is gonna play it, then we don’t mention Jayden at all, ever again. I feel like he gets the shorter end of that stick in that situation but ok then. He’s dead to us.

Perhaps ASU wasn’t completely wrong about him or he has a really bad dumb team around him.

I’m cool with us erasing everything from the BK era so we never have to look at it again. A lot of losses against teams we should beat.

Imagine Ben McDonald sending a letter like this for someone wearing his #19.

You can't. It'd never happen.

This is gonna backfire on Jayden's image, not LSU's.

Still, frick Brian Kelly.

This looks like a joke headline. I had to read it twice to make sure I could believe my eyes. This might the be the pinnacle of entitlement. Taking legal action against your alma mater because a player is wearing the number you used to wear. Unreal. What a silly idea.

I'm trying to think of the players I've watched in my lifetime that were so great they should have the jerseys retired. I can only think of a few.
