Are Jags gonna cut Blackmon?

I am normally the last one to jump on these ideas of players that get canned from one team but damn it Blackmon with Cam and KB would really turn our receiving corps into a very dangerous outfit.  If only we could get him to change his ways.  You know SF will jump like a cat on a hot tin roof for him.

 

I cannot help but think if the Jags cut this guy loose that we jump at giving him a chance to change his life.

 

Maybe being on a team that is up and coming might change his attitude.

 

Such and incredible talent. 

 

Just the thought.   

 

With our without him I think we are going to be fine.

I'm pretty sure he's suspended for this entire season.

 

Actually he can be reinstated before the season. 

 

Give him a vet minimum and incentives.   If he fails again.  he is going to be gone for lifetime.

 

His baggage is a ton but he is so young.  Rivera is that type of a coach that gets the respect.  Maybe he could turn him around.

 

You know someone is going to give him a chance.

If he does get released and can be had cheap, the Panthers would be crazy to not give him a look.  Give him a "prove it" deal with almost no guaranteed money.  If he gets his poo together he's a stud on the field.  If he continues to be a headcase, cut him loose.

If GMan viewed Smitty as a distraction how do you think he would view Blackmon? I would rather stick with what we have.

That was a totally different scenario.  Blackmon would be coming into the organization under a zero tolerance policy.  It would be his second chance to turn it around.  It's Cam and Kuechly's team and he would know that coming in.  Smitty was here way before any other current team leaders and probably had a loud voice in the locker room.  You're comparing apples and oranges.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
