Yeah, I think with the new CBA, strike 3 became indefinite, but it stands to reason it will probably be a year suspension.  I think Blackmon can apply for reinstatement soon, and then Goodell would review the case and make his decision. It's possible it could be sooner than week 8 depending on what Blackmon is doing to get back on track.  The commissioner has latitude in how long the suspension can last.  I think if it goes beyond a year, he'd better have darn good reason for it or the NFLPA could step in.
