I agree with what FBT has posted. To expand a little on his post, I believe as long as Blackmon is a member of the NFLPA, he is subject to the rules agreed upon in the CBA (including random testing). Even though he is serving an indefinite suspension he has benefits by being a union member, including addiction recovery. To opt out of the union I believe Blackmon would have to retire from the NFL. This would cost him the NFLPA benefits as a current player. He would still be subjected to, and held to his current status upon any attempts to return to the NFL.
