With the Exception of Ryan Clark (expected)…
Everyone has flooded the zone with this entire thing being ridiculous. So much so that I feel like it’s pretty much a non-issue and not that big a distraction for LSU. Just a really really bad look for JD

Guy should do himself a favor now and stop the bleeding by firing his mother as agent and actually contract with a legit one.

If Daniels has any sense at all he will crawfish out of this quickly and hope it goes away.

Somehow through the years Lane Kiffin (many times not on his own) has diverted attention away from football onto something else. Outside of Baton Rouge he doesn’t even get asked football questions. He is a sneaky snake ?? and I love it!!!!

I believe these discussions have been ongoing. It wouldn't surprise me if the Cease and Desist letter got leaked on purpose to give LSU some momentum against the Daniels camp. Just a negotiation ploy as both sides look for a compromise. I understand that Daniels is among the first generation of NIL players. I would expect to see others test the waters of litigation for further compensation beyond the original contracts

Nah LSU should quit using his image and name immediately. Remove all Daniels jerseys and posters from stores. Remove his name and image from all the books. Just have “QB #5” listed in the history books.

Then in 10 years if Daniels comes back and asks for anything, tell him to go frick himself, but thanks for the 10-3 season.

Daniels looks like a dip shite because of all this. He blew this up when it didn’t need to be.

But if LSU had clearcut policies, this would never be an issue. LSU created this issue because we have an unwritten rule about not letting people use the jerseys of guys like Joe Burrow, Dylan Crews, and Jayden Daniels. The numbers should be retired or let others use them or define it in a way that says how long they are withheld. But LSU told Daniels that his number wouldn’t get used then they let someone use it.

His mother should just be his mother and not his agent, and not just because of this fiasco.

He should have a professional relationship with his agent, who should be an actual professional. This isn't middle school. He's in the NFL.

you dumb frick

quote:

* Under a provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws established Jan. 1, 2007, the retirement of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007. The numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports.


And Jayden's number/jersey has not been retired.

quote:

Under LSU’s five-year waiting period, he is not currently eligible to be nominated for jersey retirement.

But it has been held from players, as is #9. But neither officially recognized. It is silly. The numbers are available or they aren’t.

they're available at the discretion of the head coach. That's a policy. The fact that Jayden's a mental midget doesn't mean LSU doesn't have a policy.

“At the discretion…”

So it leaves wiggle room. That’s the point. Eliminate the vagueness.

sigh. It isn't vague. LSU has the right to issue #5 to whoever the frick they want. Jayden has zero rights over the number.

Just take out the part about coaches discretion, it’s easy.
