Jaguars have little hope of suspended WR Blackmon returning

He should apply for reinstatement after which undergo an nearly two-month vetting course of earlier than he can get again on the sector.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon hasn’t given us any indication to this point that he’ll ever be able to turn his life around and revive a once-promising NFL career, so it comes as no surprise that Jaguars general manager David Caldwell thinks that Blackmon has likely played his last game in the NFL. The former Oklahoma State star violated the league’s substance abuse policy on multiple occasions, sitting out almost the entire 2013 season and all of 2014 as a result. The team has a very young, very talented stable of wide receivers and may even have to cut a few NFL-caliber talents following the preseason.

The Jaguars could part ways with the fifth overall pick in the 2012 draft, but keeping him on the roster presumably could give someone in need a little hope. “Your skills do erode and especially if you’re not staying in tip-top shape and you’re not in football shape”.

In line with the lawyer who dealt with Blackmon’s most up-to-date courtroom look, Blackmon accomplished a voluntary drug-rehab program in 2014.

It was his third arrest. In his first summer as an NFL player, Blackmon was pulled over and arrested after his blood alcohol content was allegedly three times the legal limit, placing him in the NFL’s substance abuse program. Blackmon caught 64 passes for 865 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie in 2012, but he failed an offseason drug test and was suspended for the first four games of the 2013 season.

The Jaguars haven’t minimize Blackmon, and Caldwell has stated quite a few occasions that the workforce doesn’t plan to take action. Granted that is a slight step up from his 5.6 yards per punt return in his rookie season but it’s still nowhere close to where the Jaguars wanted it to be.
