I'm surprised at the way some of you are scoffing at Atreas. I don't trust JB for a second, addiction is no joke. I'd jump at the opportunity to get something in return. It's not some ridiculous proposition.

If we trade him, what do we get? A 6th, 7th round pick? I think it is worth more to see if he pans out, because if he does he is easily first round talent. If he doesn't well the only thing we might have lost is a late-round pick. The risk is worth it in my opinion.

If Blackmon does really well on Sundays, Gus promised him choice of his very own:

Pretty sure that's the favourite GIF of 91% of the population.

the ice cream joke it's pretty old and no funny at all

Im just more concerned with this getting in the way of us signing a vet wide receiver. Because if we try to roll with blackmon and he doesnt pan out were left with the rookies.

That's because the previous QB's only knew how to throw short passes.

We have ice cream mondays at my job. And i have to say, it is a great thing.

I don't know what we'd get, but if I'm Caldwell, my ears are open.

I'd say deal him to the Pats, they can handle that type of character, but there's no way JB would accept deflated 8-balls.

Haha, JB likes his 8-balls bursting at the seams!

If he can come back and stay clean I am all for it. We need a guy like him. He'll make an impact no matter where he lines up on the field from the WR position. Great YAC player.

Quote:I've been wondering the same thing. It would be awesome if he did.

ya man.

I hope that we get word of who was invited and who actually showed.

What rookies are we left with if he doesn't pan out, and how exactly does him being on the roster prevent this team from looking at possible free agent signings?

The team has been pretty clear that they're not moving on from Blackmon.  They've operated under the mindset that he's not here, and as a result, they've brought in some good young talent at the position.  They have said more than once that they're looking at Blackmon as a luxury item.  If he comes back, they'll find room or him to compete for a roster spot.  If that doesn't pan out, then I'm sure they'd look at their options, which would be pretty much non-existent for a guy who has been circling the drain for a while now.  No team is going to give up even late round draft picks for a guy they know the team would be more inclined to release if he either can't stay clean or regain his production.

 

There's zero chance they'll move on from Blackmon unless he comes back from his suspension and he's unable to perform up to their expectations.  Other than that, there's zero reason for them to do anything.

It just seems like a waste of time to keep the man just to trade him IMO. Thats just my logic. Whats his?

There's a difference between the saying they're not "moving on", i.e. cutting him, than there is in trading him and recouping value.  Don't be so sure everything's so black and white.  One of my favorite quotes is "you don't know what you don't know".  So quit with the know-it-all posture around here.  It's excessive.

How is it a waste if you get a draft pick for doing basically nothing?
