Quote:We have nothing to lose by keeping Blackmon. Pick up the 5th year option to buy some time to see if his life is truly cleaned up. Then evaluate what the best course to proceed is. 

 

There has been no new news though so whatever youre hearing is just talking heads changing their opinion with nothing to back it up

 

The only thing to lose is the gameday check that you need to pay him.   Say, the Jags are 2-6 and Blackmon is eligible for Week 9-16.  Does the organization say sure, let's pay him $2 million for the remainder of the year if he is not showing signs that he'd making every attempt to get back on track.

 

The dude probably has a minimum of $5 million in the bank right now.  people like that don't have to think twice about paying $18 for a Grey Goose on the rocks or the $174 annual renewal fee for passes as Universal Studios.  the man is already rich !!!  does he change his life because he's committed to winning or does he sit back and think life is good -- only he can answer that.
