BTW, I think next week is going to be a pivotal one for Blackmon. We should start to hear some noise about him applying for reinstatement.
So this
Sun Times piece is not true? Sorry, I figured from the date it seems like it would have been discussed before but I have been living in a
cave.

It was later refuted as false. Blackmon's status is still up in the air.
This means Ace will contribute to the Jags about as much as he did last year.

Maybe even more than last year.
As soon as I saw this and Reggie Wayne right above it in the headlinesi t made me wonder is he on the radar to be the replacement.

Yes. Signing Wayne was definitely the plan all along. Caldwell must be crying into his Cheerios about you figuring him out.

Well I sure wish we would sign a vet at WR, not necessarily to play that much (start) but just to give advice, etc. Maybe Welker or Wayne, but I doubt they would come here anyway.
And he passes through waivers. Guessing he gets a shot somewhere maybe unless there's more off the field issues.

That's what we need. An overpriced has been who is either a concussion risk, or just old and ineffective so that they can give our young guys advice.
I'm pretty sure if the young receivers need advice, they've got a coach who probably knows more about the position than any veteran sitting on the street hoping some team will take a flyer on him. Jerry Sullivan negates the need to have some guy who may or may not be a mentor. Most of our younger receivers now have a season under their belt, and they all got plenty of time on the field to adjust to the speed of the game, and to learn how to identify and deal with coverages. Neither of the veterans you mentioned would be even remotely appealing, and to be honest, there's nobody out there on the waiver wire who would be worth pursuing. Our receivers are young, but they're better than what we have available right now in free agency.

Not to be offensive, but are you out of your mind?

To give advice on what exactly?

We drafted Sanders' replacement, and there are other guys already on the roster who can fill the role he presented on the roster. If anything, they created a roster spot in anticipation of Blackmon being reinstated shortly.

How to take/deflect a shot to the head using your brain, or how to catch passes from Peyton Manning in his prime.

I've been out of the loop a little bit, so what's your speculation based on? The one year from the last time he failed a test?
