Apparently if you miss the entire year on suspension, you don't count that year against the cap. Blackmon's entire cap, signing bonus hit and all, appears to have been wiped off the 2014 books. My hunch here is that everything is pushed back a year including the date he's set to be a free agent. I vaguely recall Vic saying this is how it works.


 

In a recent jaguars.com article about Blackmon, Caldwell mentions...


 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Caldwell also said Blackmon would be a $1.7 million cap hit if he plays next season, and that because he is not currently on the roster and not counting against the cap, bringing Blackmon back is not a risk for the organization.

 

If you look at Justin's cap details, he had a $1.7 roster bonus due in 2014. I'm fairly sure this "hit" is this roster bonus, and that it would be on top of his base salary and yearly SB hit.
