The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... HC Gus Bradley would like to be able to sit down with Blackmon and have a conversation the way they did during Blackmon's early-season suspension in 2013. But the two have had only minimal contact via text messages because NFL rules prohibit Blackmon from visiting the team's facility while serving an indefinite suspension for his third violation of the league's substance abuse policy. "I wish I could have a more extended conversation with him," Bradley said Tuesday. "My feelings toward him haven't changed. I still care about him. To be able to sit down and visit with him, that part I miss."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That used to be a regular occurrence. They would sit down each week during the season and have conversations that sometimes lasted more than an hour. Most of those talks had nothing to do with football. But Bradley hasn't had any contact with Blackmon, who was indefinitely suspended last year, for several weeks. The Jaguars are still unsure of Blackmon's availability for the 2014 season -- he will be able to petition NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for reinstatement before the season begins -- and the team is planning on being without him.
