Quote:He's still on the roster. I don't think it's off-topic to still discuss his status.

Yes he is. However, about all there is to say about him is that he made his choice and it wasn't a pro football career. To be blunt, the only rational reason he's still 'on the books' is to prevent another team from picking him up and... low and behold... he manages to miraculously resurrect himself into a good receiver that plays against us. The probability of that scenario actually occurring at this point is very small; nevertheless, I think it wise of Dave Caldwell not to take needless chances where blackmon is concerned. He isn't costing us anything or having any sort of a negative impact on the team by doing this. He did us no favors by his conduct and we owe him no favors by cutting him loose before we have to.

 

bottom line: stick a fork in him... he's done.
