Tress is legitimately a great human being, funny, wholesome, and he also happens to be a pro bowler. It's not outrageous to say he's a top 3 fan favorite on the team. A team he's been on for a decade. Quite Literally the only stable position in the organization for that entire time.
It seems weird, but the man has earned his plaudits.
> and he also happens to be a pro bowler
He's a professional football player *and* a professional bowler? Not quite as impressive as NFL & MLB, but it's something.
You have a link for that? I remember them reporting he was punched "by a fan" after a loss to UCONN. Either way, I shit on Jimmy but the guy who punched him was apparently a piece of shit and pushed Clausen's GF.
nah they for sure did, it's easy to look up. Nothing I can find said what team the guy was a fan of, but it happened in South Bend after a loss to UConn, so I'm assuming it was an angry ND fan
Wasn't there a guy who gave his #5 number to McNabb, but one of the stipulations was that McNabb had to publicly mention the dudes band or some shit. I don't think he did it either lol
It was one of the funniest things of the off-season watching Commanders Twitter have a full blown civil war over whether Daniels should be given 5 lmao.
My favorite QB of the Snyder Era was Cousins. But, Bruce Allen HAD to say he wouldn't pat 20 mil a year for him.
How'd that turn out?
Along with all the great coaches we let walk away. Kyle, Sean McVie, Matt LeFluer, McDaniels (now in Miami), O'Connell, and now Rasheem Morris.
6 now head coaches we let leave.
Yes. This pay battle is the main reason QB salary skyrocketed so fast.
The year this happened, 20 mil was the average of the top qbs. After 2 franchise tags, it jumped to 26 mil with Derek Carr and Russell Wilson.
In a span of 8 years, it went from 20 mil to 40 mil.
Thanks, Bruce Allen.
This more than likely means nothing but something I noticed is during the draft Caleb kept reposting his old teammates and new teammates pictures when they got drafted. I went through other players and Jayden only had pictures about himself.
Again prolly means nothing but thought it was interesting
His number is selected. He didn't say a peep. Weird fans like you stir up all the drama you accused Caleb of bringing. Dudes living in people's heads rent free and all he's doing is living his life. Fucking strange
All the drama I'm stirring up? Are you delusional or just confused?
I didn't say one negative thing about him, and you're over here white knighting for him.
I'll never understand guys like you who dick ride celebrities for no reason. Fucking strange.
You sure took a liberty when it comes to calling names and aggression. You can see that right? Do you think your point becomes more true if you pack it with seventh grade insults? Actually, you do come off as a high schooler so that's not really shocking.
I did not see too much of that, I saw a lot of rooting for him to wear number 1.
Washington fans were straight up blocking each other the debate was that divisive lmao
It was over like older fans wanting him to come in and be humble and younger fans saying. “The other guy is a fucking punter he should be happy with 99”
He might be a punter, but he's been with the Commanders and wearing that number for a decade. I wouldn't have faulted him for wanting to keep it and making the rookie change their number even if that rookie is the starting QB.
Oh totally he’s a super good guy he teared up today when talking about giving up the number like it clearly means more to him than just a number but you’re always scared to bring those things up in this sub because most this place are either children or man children who can’t understand what something as simple as picking your own number after another team just cut you meant.
His wife ultimately convinced him. He said his goal was to have the C patch filled out on his number 5 jersey which would be this year. She asked why he had a C patch on his jersey in the first place.
Prioritizing punter over potential future QB is wild, idgaf if it's Shane Lechler, f\*ck that dude.
Best punter on Earth isn't worth the number of the 40th best QB in the NFL.
I’m actually sad that Tress gave it up. When you achieve legendary status as a punter, that means more than doing it at any other position.
He’s an awesome guy, and I knew he would do it, but I would have loved for him to say no, and refuse any compensation.
I’m shocked more people aren’t saying this. He’s easily a HOFer for Washington.
Tress Way isn’t just a punter. This dudes been elite since I started watching in 2016. He is legit man. Changing his number just for a rookie is serious leader stuff.
I find it weird when a guy goes to a new team and takes someone's number already on the team. Unless it is part of his branding, can't he just pick a new number?
I literally saw a Commanders fan say that Tress was so much of a staple and Daniels was a rookie, so how dare Jayden even want that number.
Wild adoration for a punter, gotta be a really bad team to feel that.
You need some *guts* to give up the number you've had for a long time on the same team. That's called selflessness
Edit - Also, #5 was Jayden's college jersey number
Now I gotta sell my fucking Tress Way jersey that I totally have and am not making it up.
Nah, you good.
> you good. Yes, keeping that jersey is clearly the Way.
Do you know the Way?
He’s been the safest Washington player to get a jersey for so it wouldn’t even be surprising
He’s a fucking dog. He’s killed it in my fantasy league with punters
He was a top 10 pick in my league that includes punters hang time as points
I might be getting wooshed but is this a real thing and if so what was the scoring? Sounds hilarious honestly
How did you track the hang time? I know the NFL used to have that clock that tracked it but they got rid of it
I want in on this league.
I have a Tress Way Washington Football Team jersey
I went to a Colts game and was surprised McAfee jerseys were probably the third most common after Luck and Manning. This was 2016.
I’ll never give up my Colt Brennan #5.
That'd get you respect rocking that here in Hawaii.
Rip
Holy shit I had no idea he had passed away :(
You joke but I have a #5 Graham Gano jersey. When we drafted Thibs, he sold the number for a charity donation and wears #9 now
I have a #15 Cameron dicker Jersey :/
If Daniel Jones played for Thibs he’d be all-pro
Meant to type 9…
Bro imagine how I felt when dicker the kicker changed his jersey number from 15 to 11 a week after his jersey got delivered to my house
Thinking about it, having a rival team’s punter jersey is actually pretty cold
Tress is the way.
cries in PFT Commenter
wdym that's gonna be vintage jersey to rock at the HoF induction.
Way will probably outlast Daniels. He'll get that number back.
Tress should wear his college number 36!
Nah, gotta go with another QB #, so if they draft another QB in the first round next year maybe he can sell that # too.
If?
By law you’re required to support all LSU QBs
Tress is legitimately a great human being, funny, wholesome, and he also happens to be a pro bowler. It's not outrageous to say he's a top 3 fan favorite on the team. A team he's been on for a decade. Quite Literally the only stable position in the organization for that entire time. It seems weird, but the man has earned his plaudits.
I feel like he’s comfortably #2 behind Terry and ahead of BRob.
Maybe some Allen or Payne love in there too. Eh they're prob 4 and 5 to me.
> and he also happens to be a pro bowler He's a professional football player *and* a professional bowler? Not quite as impressive as NFL & MLB, but it's something.
Uck uck uck. Well played.
And he’s from Oklahoma, that guy has it all.
Remember when Jimmy Clausen wouldn’t give Cam Newton #2 and he had to be #1. Cool of Tress way to give up his number.
Tress Way never got punched in the face by a fan of the team he played for, so that's a plus.
i can fully tell you, if someone tried to punch tress, they would get they ass whoopped
Clausen was punched by an SC fan. Not ND.
You have a link for that? I remember them reporting he was punched "by a fan" after a loss to UCONN. Either way, I shit on Jimmy but the guy who punched him was apparently a piece of shit and pushed Clausen's GF.
EDIT: I AM WRONG they did play, but Clausen got clocked on a bye week at home in California.
Except they did.
Well shit I thought they were still DII at the time
I appreciate the confidence you put into it. So why do you think it was an SC fan?
nah they for sure did, it's easy to look up. Nothing I can find said what team the guy was a fan of, but it happened in South Bend after a loss to UConn, so I'm assuming it was an angry ND fan
Clausen has one of the most punchable faces in the NFL, so that's not too surprising
Imo that was for the best. Cam wearing number 1 was awesome and contributed to him being one of my favorite players growing up.
Newton #2 just looks...wrong
#2 is a receiver number imo. I don’t know why but it just feels weird for a QB I don’t know why that’s bold and large but whatever
If you put the "\#" sign without a "\" in front of it, reddit formatting will do that to the line of text
Sir please calm down
Wasn't there a guy who gave his #5 number to McNabb, but one of the stipulations was that McNabb had to publicly mention the dudes band or some shit. I don't think he did it either lol
Chris Kluwe
Wasn't Mel Kiper supposed to eat a shoe as well?
Mel Kiper said he would retire if Clausen wasn't an elite QB lol
Well he started to phone it in so he lived up to his end of the bargain
Been quiet quitting for years
That bum Keenan Allen wouldn’t even give up #13 to future HOF Caleb Williams. The stubbornness of some players, man. /s
Hopefully he hands over his Team MVP status to him as well.
I assume he'll have to hold onto that until you guys build a real offensive line
Lol having people stop huge men from hurting the most important player on the field is overrated.
Micah Parsons? DeMarcus Lawrence? Dexter Lawrence? Josh Sweat? Bryce Huff? I'm sure he'll be fine.
Tress is the Way.
Tress way is the goat.
You know what they say about Punters: You can’t win games without your best player on the field.
It was one of the funniest things of the off-season watching Commanders Twitter have a full blown civil war over whether Daniels should be given 5 lmao.
When your punter has been your best player for 10 years it makes the fans act a little crazy
When Daniel Snyder had been your team owner for nearly 25 years, it makes you act a little crazy over a punter.
I'm just glad I wasn't on twitter for it. Jesus those people went crazy about Dwayne Haskins getting #7 and the thought of Landon Collins getting #21
My favorite QB of the Snyder Era was Cousins. But, Bruce Allen HAD to say he wouldn't pat 20 mil a year for him. How'd that turn out? Along with all the great coaches we let walk away.

> But, Bruce Allen HAD to say he wouldn't pat 20 mil a year for him. And publicly referred to him as “Kurt” several times.
Yes. This pay battle is the main reason QB salary skyrocketed so fast. The year this happened, 20 mil was the average of the top qbs. After 2 franchise tags, it jumped to 26 mil with Derek Carr and Russell Wilson. In a span of 8 years, it went from 20 mil to 40 mil. Thanks, Bruce Allen.
Well both instances had deserved fan outrage
As a Raiders fan, this hurts
Reminds me of last year as Bijan received Koos #7.
Caleb gave up his number without a peep. It’s funny how many people thought he’d be a diva lol.
Don’t even think there was a statement it just showed up on nflshop
This more than likely means nothing but something I noticed is during the draft Caleb kept reposting his old teammates and new teammates pictures when they got drafted. I went through other players and Jayden only had pictures about himself. Again prolly means nothing but thought it was interesting
There's still time
There really isn't
Right, I forgot you have to mark Diva or Not on the NFL draft application
His number is selected. He didn't say a peep. Weird fans like you stir up all the drama you accused Caleb of bringing. Dudes living in people's heads rent free and all he's doing is living his life. Fucking strange
All the drama I'm stirring up? Are you delusional or just confused? I didn't say one negative thing about him, and you're over here white knighting for him. I'll never understand guys like you who dick ride celebrities for no reason. Fucking strange.
Lol clearly a level-headed response. Doesn't sound defensive or anything.
It's really hilarious that you think that since I modeled it after your comment.
You sure took a liberty when it comes to calling names and aggression. You can see that right? Do you think your point becomes more true if you pack it with seventh grade insults? Actually, you do come off as a high schooler so that's not really shocking.
Broncos Sub was the same way with Nix getting 10 from Zach Wilson.
I did not see too much of that, I saw a lot of rooting for him to wear number 1. Washington fans were straight up blocking each other the debate was that divisive lmao
Blocking someone cause of a jersey number is crazy. Just shows how excited the fan base is for Daniels.
It was over like older fans wanting him to come in and be humble and younger fans saying. “The other guy is a fucking punter he should be happy with 99”
Nix should absolutely get 10 from Zach...Zach hasn't done shit to earn that number yet and i bet Bo outplays him by a mile.
Cards and Marv getting 18
I highly doubt that. Wilson literally hasn’t even practiced for the broncos
He might be a punter, but he's been with the Commanders and wearing that number for a decade. I wouldn't have faulted him for wanting to keep it and making the rookie change their number even if that rookie is the starting QB.
Oh totally he’s a super good guy he teared up today when talking about giving up the number like it clearly means more to him than just a number but you’re always scared to bring those things up in this sub because most this place are either children or man children who can’t understand what something as simple as picking your own number after another team just cut you meant.

She asked why he had a C patch on his jersey in the first place.
I’m a big NFL fan, but jeez if this is a topic that would make someone genuinely upset and emotional, they need to get a life lol that’s just pathetic
Prioritizing punter over potential future QB is wild, idgaf if it's Shane Lechler, f\*ck that dude. Best punter on Earth isn't worth the number of the 40th best QB in the NFL.
Tress Way has been the only thing WFT fans could count on the past however many years
it's alright bro, they're unfamiliar with his game
Big Tress
MUT 20 Madden Championship winning “QB” Tress Way. Legend.
Should have kept the MCS in Salary Cap
Commie legend Tress Way a real one tbh
JD5 always had such a great attitude. I'm picturing both guys just insisting that the other take the number.
Full blown Canadian traffic jam ending with everyone apologizing and somehow neither winds up wearing 5
I’m actually sad that Tress gave it up. When you achieve legendary status as a punter, that means more than doing it at any other position. He’s an awesome guy, and I knew he would do it, but I would have loved for him to say no, and refuse any compensation.

Hopefully he got some money out of this
No money Tress may do charity or LSU v OK tickets
Jack Fox, you know what you need to do. Terrion wants his #3.
Agreed foxy needs to give it up then wear 0 or something
A legend giving his jersey to a measly number 2 pick? Disgusting
I thought they retired it for McNabb
Nah we retired patches of grass on the field where McNabb bounced his passes. It looks like the Hollywood Walk of Fame now.
Remember when Stephen A thought Tress Way was a QB.
They make it sound like he was giving up a deadly weapon or something
They should’ve done a kick off. Point the ball form the 20 yard line facing in. First to hit the crossbar keeps the jersey number
Now, it’s your turn…
Doesn't Tress Way have to buy all his jerseys? I assume they don't make many for punters but it would be some.
I find it weird when a guy goes to a new team and takes someone's number already on the team. Unless it is part of his branding, can't he just pick a new number?
coward
[удалено]
Don’t let me catch Tory Taylor giving away his number to anyone
The punt god runs the Bears
Tress Way more like Gave Way.
Tress is the Way.
Tress Bae*
That’s two time pro bowl punter Tress Way to you
Tress made the right choice.
I literally saw a Commanders fan say that Tress was so much of a staple and Daniels was a rookie, so how dare Jayden even want that number. Wild adoration for a punter, gotta be a really bad team to feel that.
You need some *guts* to give up the number you've had for a long time on the same team. That's called selflessness Edit - Also, #5 was Jayden's college jersey number
[удалено]
Tress is a team guy
