The league suspended Blackmon on Tuesday for the first four games of the 2013 season for his second violation in less than a year. He will not get paid for the four-week hiatus. Maybe more importantly, the suspension triggers language in his contract that voids future guarantees.
Now, the Jaguars could cut him without having to pay about $10 million that remains on a four-year, $18.5 million contract.
This is the 2nd substance abuse issue since Blackmon has joined the NFL and 3rd in 3 years.
Listen, I like Blackmon a lot, I think he is going to be great, he just can't be a shithead. I don't blame him though, he looks and stills sees Blane Gabbart as his quarterback and still plays for the jaguars, so if my friends were getting stoned, hell yea, I would partake in the festivities. It may take a couple years, but Blackmon will be the new Dez Bryant. A great talent, but just has a 2 cent head.
It's not like this will hurt the Jaguars because even with Blackmon they will probably still be 0-4, but look for him to have a better year than he did last year.
