Quote:It doesn't really support your point at all.


If he drags this out, the team is going to cut bait, and when they do, they've got a right under his contract to go after the bonus money he hasn't earned. He can't hide from the team contractually.


The league has already confirmed they can release him during the suspension.

 

If the Jaguars cut him, then Blackmon's attorneys would argue that Blackmon was suspended but was in the process of returning to the team. The Jaguars, at that point, wouldn't be able to prove otherwise. I'm sure any judge would side with Blackmon if the Jaguars cut him. Unless, of course, a suspension means that the Jaguars are eligible to have a portion of the bonus returned.

 

I remember reading that DUI-related incidents open it up to having it returned, but do we know what qualifies?
