Quote:There is no coddling going on here, he has already lost an astounding amount of money and probably will not play this year.

That means he has lost 2.072M salary and 1.7M roster bonus or 3.772M as of 3/16/14.

His salary and bonus are no longer guaranteed for 2015 under the terms of his original contracts "no suspension clause" 3.33M by the way.

 

He can't be traded while suspended and the Jaguars retain rights to him.

It is all in the Jags favor without any monetary cost or limitation to roster size till he is reinstated.

 

HeadSlap

 

That's as a result of the NFL's suspension and the terms of his contract, that's not the Jaguars coming upside his head so to speak.

 

What Blackmon needs is to feel the true weight of his actions, and until he's struggling to make a roster he won't feel it.

 

It's like Chris Carter said, Buddy Ryan did for him the only thing that could help, he showed him that he wasn't great enough to keep making the big bucks on an NFL team while doing drugs. Blackmon needs to be taught the same.
