Justin Blackmon, WR, Jags

Justin Blackmon is currently suspended by the NFL indefinitely for drug policy violation. It seems he is doing fine since and getting out of rehab. The Jags still own his rights. If all systems are checked and good....would you trade for him?

He's not a tall WR at 6'1/210 pds but his game is bigger than his size. Plus he's a proven #1 WR. Jags have Shorts and Robinson so for the right type of deal they may be willing to part with Blackmon.

Not black enough.

Will this "joke" ever run it's course?

Or will it live on and on like Calihawk's "Fart" posts?

Fair question.

I just don't get adding a WR at this point of the season. Especially one with a drug suspension, we have been down that road and blew it up.

What is the point?...To piss off the rest of our WR players?

C'mon, our hand is dealt. Play it.

Trade? Nope. He's under contract another year and it's not a small one. I'd expect the Jags to either try and rework his contract or cut him.

If they cut him then I might be tempted to have a look.

Any trade would be after the season since the deadline for NFL trades has passed, so it's not a playing with the hand we're dealt situation.

He's suspended and this is not intended for this season. It's for the future. He probably won't be reinstated until 2015 anyway. Sorry if that wasn't clear. This season it's pretty much going with what they have and unfortunately, it's not enough.

20 games in three years and 6 touchdowns makes you a proven #1?

For the Seahawks, yes it does. What makes him a #1 WR is the impact he's had in those games. Not necessarily the amount of games he's played. In 20 games, he's had 94 receptions for 1,280 yards. He's also had subpar QBs - Gabbert, Henne, etc. throwing to him.

Whatever. It isn't happening so bash your friggin brains out. I'll roll a doob instead.

Dude's very talented but made some stupid decisions. Him and Dez Bryant both had trouble off the field to start their NFL careers but Dez matured while Justin didn't. Not saying he's as talented as Dez but him being drafted 5th overall wasn't a fluke. If the Jags just want to get rid of him and we take a flyer, I'm 100% down. We need playmakers on offense badly and maybe his time away from football got his head right.

After the season for the right price I would say yes. He is more talented than any receiver we have on the roster and it might not be close. If you can get him cheap why not?
