Why not?

Exactly...

Huh. Low risk high reward signing in theory.

Great athlete, not a great football player. And he might not even be a great athlete anymore after injuries.

Can he play SAM?

Competition for Cassius?

Sounds like a Browner type with the drug violations. Hasn't actually played enough to have any idea of what you might have. It's low risk so why not?

Probably not the best place for him. A repeat drug violator (suspended all of 2015) going to a state he can get weed legally will push his temptations to it's limits.

I guess that makes #2 and #3 from that draft now. Expect a trade for Eric Fisher or Lane Johnson soon.

Irrelevant, weed is easily obtainable by anyone that wants it in every state and it's still on the banned list in the NFL. Regardless of it being legal at the state level in Washington.

Can he play.........Tackle?!

Championship! :3-1:

I think some of the drug test fails was for PED. He was used all wrong by Miami, and they want d him to put on a ton of weight. He can cover, is athletic freak, super long ass arms (nicknamed the praying mantis because of his build). The bad, he was still raw coming out of college, he needs to be kept off drugs and needs good leadership. I won't be surprised if he makes the team, but I also won't be shocked if he's cut day 1.

Might be wrong but I think it was hgh, not weed.

I'd be shocked if Jordan even makes it through training camp, one of the bigger busts of the draft in the last decade..........and even though he was reinstated last year he couldn't get his poop together enough for Miami to even dress him.

But talent was there obviously coming out of college, so intriguing signing at the least.

Ok, hands up who saw this one coming?

Genuinely surprised here, but 'low risk' and all that.

I do share the same sentiments as previous posters - what his role might be, and how different it might be from his role in Miami.

He's every bit the talent that Bruce had, he just was a square peg in a round hole in Miami. Like I said, Miami wanted to make him something he's not, a 4-3 DE. I think he could compete with Marsh for the spot Bruce had.

Not irrelevant for that reason.
It is more out in the open and accepted here than many parts of the country. So he will be more exposed to it if he is attempting to clean it up.

Possibly irrelevant for the reason it may have been PED related, but that seems unclear at this point since it was a diluted sample he was suspended this last time for.

I like this signing. Dion and Marsh can help replace Irvin.

The NFL has two separate policies for PED and weed. So if it says Jordan was busted twice for PED's, that's not weed, that's stuff like steroids, HGH, stimulants, etc.

I'm not worried about Jordan doing weed...........if he doesn't come here with his hair on fire knowing this is probably his final chance to prove himself, then living back in the NW with the temptation of weed is #27 on my list of things to worry about with him.

Shoot, why not. All these one year prove it deals are great for the team imo. Prove it or get sent packing.
Look at how it worked out for Avril and Bennett.
