Anyone have information about Justin Blackmon?

Blackmon doesn't come "without the trouble".

Next slip up, he's gone for a year (minimum).

Send a damn 4th. Doesnt hurt a bit.

Rivera will clean his act up.

We have no money. We have to pray to the football gods we get lucky and find some guys in the draft.

Draft picks matter when you have no cap room to sign players.

Maybe if we had tons do picks and few holes you could roll the dice

But, Blackmon still has two years left on his rookie deal. We're not breaking the bank by trading for him.

Giving up anything for Blackmon is a waste of draft picks...but if he was cut, sign him up for the minimum and see if he can get his act together.

Steve Largent, Charles Haley, Jared Allen and Darren Sproles were all 4th round picks.

 

No way in hell I give up a pick for a guy that's one misstep away from a year's vacation and who's already shown he's not especially bright.

The Good

He has legit top 10 WR talent.  I could never find anything about what he was busted for last time but I heard it was Adderall.  From what I hear he is in phenomenal shape just as he was after the first suspension.  

 

The Bad 

Will likely miss 8 games.  Hard to count such as you will not go into to the season looking at him as your number target and designing an offense for him.

 

I wouldnt say its a definite no like the rest you.  It's a cautious yes for me to gamble on a player with top 10 talent for the price of basically a fifth.

Edmund Kugbila was also a 4th rounder.

Thats not fair every round has players who had great ceilings.  A more apt  example of what would come out of the 4th would be

 

5%  Great player

 

20%- Decent Starter

 

50%- Backup/Roleplayer

 

25%- Out of league in 3 years.

 

I pulled those numbers out of my ass.  But I think they are reasonable.

Doesn't really matter.

 

I wouldn't part with a 7th for a guy who's already proven he's a mental midget.

 

Two DUIs, an indefinite suspension from the League, next suspension means he's gone a year or more at the least...

 

I wouldn't give up a used jockstrap for that.

 

[Proudiddy]

If he has a problem with alcohol now, if he came and met Gettleman, he'd immediately turn to coke and heroin.

[PantherAZ]

So with Nicks a Colt.... Is the consensus still no on this? Offer a 5th.

You wouldnt be giving up a 4th for him to engineer a new energy source, you would be giving up a 4th for him to put up receiving production like he did last year when he put up 414 yards over 4 games or the 638 yard he put up over the last 7 of 2012. I think I would be able to spare a backup/roleplayer to take a chance on that.

While he's still suspended?

 

He isn't even reinstated yet.  It's not guaranteed that he will be.  How dumb would ya look trading for a guy who can't even practice?

 

And no.  I doubt any other smart team in the league will either.  Which means the Jags will end up releasing him.

 

When he costs nothing, then maybe we can talk, but even then I'd still be leary...

 

[FirstRoundPick]

Likely to miss 8 to finish his suspension.  Missing less or more is unlikely.  

 

Why would the Jags release him.  The only thing keeping him would cost is a roster spot that would go to a scrub and a rookie contract.
