The Facts:
At February's combine, GM David Caldwell called the potential return of Blackmon "
a luxury" for Jacksonville if it happened. The odds don't sound promising. "It's not something we're counting on," Caldwell told reporters Friday, adding that he'd be "relatively surprised" if Blackmon suited up in 2014 after being suspended indefinitely without pay for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Caldwell said in February that the Jaguars haven't been in regular contact with Blackmon, the fifth overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, citing "certain rules that we have to abide by" from the NFL Players Association and the league office. The third-year wideout would need to be reinstated by the league first, something NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Friday called no guarantee, citing sources informed of the situation. It's bad news for both the Jaguars and fantasy football owners. Last season, Blackmon lit up the field with his post-catch playmaking ability by hauling in 19 catches for 326 yards in his first two games back from suspension. We'll watch for more, but for now we should all follow the Jags' lead on this one.
