Quote:Jaguars are petty as hell. Blackmon is indefinitely a Jaguar. If we win a Superbowl in the next 5 years, Blackmon gets a ring.
How does this make them petty? Blackmon signed a contract to play football for the Jaguars. He was given a ton of money in return for his services. In exchange for that investment, he's provided the team with roughly a season of actual playing time, multiple suspensions (including an indefinite one) and more headaches than anyone cares to count. If Blackmon is reinstated and I was David Caldwell, I'd tell him that if he wanted to play in Canada, he could pay me back the pro-rated amount of his signing bonus (and any other guarantees paid to him, excluding salary) in return for his release.

 

What's that you say? He doesn't have that money anymore? Tough. If he couldn't quit drinking/smoking/being stupid for a few years in order to make an obscene amount of money, then that's his problem, and the Jaguars have every right to protect their investment by making sure he doesn't go off to Toronto, blow out a knee, then argue (successfully) that the Jaguars can't sue him for his bonus money because they allowed him to play in the CFL in the first place.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
