re: Jayden Daniels sends cease-and-desist to LSU after Pickett given No. 5

This is actually a brilliant idea. I’m sure when you do the math owning a single digit jersey forever at a program like LSU would be worth tens of millions. The value would probably fund an entire roster for a year at minimum.

1 of 3 to ever do it…seems special to me

Reb Jr just came downstairs to tell me about this.

Jayden was his favorite. He has an LSU 5 and Signed Redskins jersey framed on his wall.

He took both down and put them in his closet.

National Title vs. Not.

For simply winning a Heisman on a team that accomplished nothing and finished 5th in the SEC? Lol congrats on the individual award.

Simply…? A team that easily could’ve went 7-6 or 6-7 without him…? Yes

He maintained our dignity in a time of severe need. We could have been Florida, Auburn, or even worse

He helped preserve the cache of the brand until we could usher in the new regime

I feel like this will cause some disdain towards Jayden, which is unfortunate

---

Yeah this is a hoe, selfish childish move. Grown men with self respect, including a ton of former players, are going to lose a ton of respect for Jayden now. This is a bad look.

I think ultimately the number will end up being retired in the future.

It was going to be, but at this point it's not going to be anytime soon. Sounds like he wants nothing to do with LSU so a jersey retiring ceremony would be awkward if the guy is actively sueing you.

Why goes through this hassle and turn LSU fans against you?

---

this is so clearly his mom doing this but Jayden is a pussy for not being a man

Side note: BK needs to be taking some heat for this, Kiffin is only honoring what the kid was originally promised.

---

Kiffin gets no heat, sure yall can throw shite at Kelly to feel better but this is purely Jayden Daniels being a little bitch. This is beyond pathetic considering the year he's coming off of in the NFL, to be worried about sueing your former school because they hurt your feelings about a number.

What a pussy

Winning a Heisman for us deserves more respect. His number should be unofficially retired just like Burrow’s. F your mob mentality.

What more is LSU supposed to do for Jayden? Was assembling an elite offense and putting him in a spot to get drafted number 1 overall not good enough? The relationship works both ways, and he’s acting like a little bitch about a fricking number. There would be a thousand better ways to handle this then through a lawyer writing a cease and desist

quote:

---

The process seems simple: LSU's administrative staff schedules a Zoom call between Coach Kiffin, Jayden, and Pickett. Kiffin and Pickett take the call from Kiffin's office. On the call, Pickett expresses his sincerely admiration for Jayden and respectfully asks Jayden if Pickett can wear #5, both to honor Pickett's high school and to honor Jayden. Kiffin and Pickett both acknowledge to Jayden that they could not fathom any LSU offensive player attempting to wear #5.

this is fricking retarded

Kiffin should hand out non-retired numbers and win games.

Former players who are grown men shouldn't act like little bitches

To act like this is somehow kiffins frick up and not Jayden being a bitch is insane

You are correct. To have HIS jersey retired. Never his number. No one EVER has had their number retired at lsu. Ever. Period. Next…

Why the hell would he care about a jersey number. Go enjoy your money. You can have any home or car you want and can get any girl you want. So petty
