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.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
