Quote:His teammates, the guys who are supposedly his friends, haven't heard from him.  They don't even know where he is.  Do you seriously think your option is even a possibility based on his track record?  The team knows more than they are willing to share.  If they're already making it clear he probably isn't an option in 2014, I think it's safe to assume they're not just plucking that from thin air.

 

It's not being negative at all where Blackmon is concerned.  It's just being realistic.

 

My hope would be that he's staying far away from everyone on the Jaguars team and getting his head screwed on correctly before even thinking of football. So yes, I think it's plausible that nobody knows where he is. 

 

The front office took the smart route and went forward as if he were gone permanently. As I stated before, it only makes sense. Without him, you need those receivers. With him, you still need those receivers. Win-win when it comes to picking Robinson and Lee in the 2nd.
