The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... Early Sunday, Blackmon landed in the back seat of a cruiser after being arrested for DUI. Breath testing revealed a sloppy-drunk 0.24 blood alcohol concentration. Blackmon has since made bail, but both the player and the team has been silent. Presumably, the Jaguars will issue at some point a perfunctory statement expressing disappointment and/or concern, and deferring further comment until the legal process is concluded. But the league office will have the last word.

According to PFT's Mike Florio, Blackmon is subject to discipline under the substance-abuse policy. Per Florio, the fact that he has yet to sign a contract won't protect him; the moment he was drafted, Blackmon became subject to all league policies. Under the policy, any disposition reflecting responsibility of any kind for the alleged crime exposes Blackmon to "a fine, suspension, or other appropriate discipline." So, as Florio summed up, "if the league chooses to suspend discipline, the league can do it." Stay tuned.
