Blackmon available for trade? EDIT: blackmon suspended for season

[ctrcat]

If you can get him for a second it's robbery, considering the Colts gave up a 1st for a bust in the same draft at a less premium position. Randy Moss was 30 when the Pats got him for a 4th. Blackmon is only 23. Make it happen GMan!!!

It's amazing the play it safe conservative views of this board. Play it safe for what? Undo what? A team that Is .500 for the first time since 2008 under a lame duck coach? Really what damage could he possibly do? We've been playing it safe and reaping no benefits for years. Meanwhile the risk takers like the bengals rise to relevance strike gold (burfict) patriots (dennard)rams (jenkins). Every kid thay hits a bump in the road isn't rae curruth.

 

I doubt they let him go for less than a first, so people are going to be skeptical at the thought of giving up that pick given his circumstances. Um Burfict went undrafted, and Dennard was a 7th rounder. Janoris Jenkins, really? I saw all I need to know about him Sunday.

[carolina-chuck]

I would send a damn 2nd. I dont care how dumb he is. The kid can straight up play.

[Bishop]

Screw that he can ball. If we could get him for dirt cheap by all means

[Kramerica]

This sounds like bullshit. PFT (really?) is literally the only place talking about this. I highly doubt this is legit.

 

Besides, I honestly would rather not even have the guy here. We don't need this in our locker room.

 

Anyone see him knocking down a security guard last week while he went out of bounds? He didn't even help the guy up.

 

Didn't help him up? This is why you don't want Blackmon in the locker room?

 

I remember the same thing happened to perennial nice-guy DeAngelo Williams last season. He accidentally ran into a camera or security guy, knocked him down, turned around, and ran back to the huddle. There are other people standing around. It's not the players' job to stand around and help up a security guard in the middle of a game. The show must go on. (Nothing personal, Zod.)

 

I would be okay with trading a 3rd, maybe even a 2nd rounder for Blackmon. I don't see it as being very likely to happen, though. At all.

[Shermdog]

Id give a 3rd for him. He is really good despite his IQ.

I didn't say that's why I didn't want him here. I put the information out there, since this is, ya know, a thread about Justin Blackmon.

[cultclassiccat]

I believe we have a great culture in our locker room.  Good enough to guide a troubled young player.  I wonder what his value is with all the screw ups?  2nd or 3rd rounder with a ton of clauses?

 

Will it happen?  Prob not

 

I do like Shorts teaming up with Proehl. 

[hepcat]

How about we trade them the pick we got for Beason.  I think that's fair.

[IamSoClutch]

ill take him. he'll mature eventually and atleast he is not injury prone(Nicks). on top of that his contract is still in the rookie stages and he wouldnt be due a contract.

[philw5289]

Blackmon scored like a 7 on the wonderlic and if you've ever listened/watched an interview with him....I'm surprised that dude can tie his shoes.

 

wonderlic means nothing chris gamble scored a 9 on it

[Floppin]

Yeah, Gamble isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the knife drawer either. 

[Zaximus]

Yeah, Gamble isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the knife drawer either. 

 

But probably the best cornerback we've ever had, and definitely better than what we have now.  Gamble just got bored with football I think, if he focused like he did a couple of those seasons he could have been a top 5 CB (he was in a couple seasons).

[countryboi]

Blackmon is a stud and a much much better player than Gordon. Blackmon on a good team could be Dez Bryant level
