Quote:I think they should prepare as if he's not coming back, i.e. draft any WR they need to, but if in the end this culminates with them simply outright releasing him or trading him away for pennies on the dollar, then they are stupid. He'll go somewhere else and blow up with the potential we have already seen here. The Jags should handle this as he's going to play here, and star here or nowhere. Don't make it easy for him to leave and have a HOF career elsewhere. 

 

Yes, I agree with that.   I hope they evaluate team needs as if he's not on the team.   And don't just release him for nothing.   If he's suspended, it costs us nothing financially or cap-wise.   So he plays for us or he plays for no one.   Personally, I have a gut feeling, based on nothing in particular, that there's a 20% chance he comes back.   I think the silence on the subject speaks volumes.   If he was successfully getting his life in order, we would hear about it.
