Contrary to a published report, the agent for suspended defensive end Dion Jordan said this week that the Dolphins have indicated they are excited about having him back and that he’s in excellent shape.
Commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to rule on Jordan’s bid for reinstatement by the end of July and “I feel very strongly he will be reinstated without question,” agent Doug Hendrickson said by phone. “He's done everything he has been asked to do. We feel very good where we're at. We expect Dion to start training camp with the Dolphins.”

Still all talk till it happens and if they actually decide to pay the money.
 
"...and that he’s in excellent shape..."
Ha! knew it, always assume the opposite of an Omar report
 
Why as late as July?? I don't get it. Make him piss in a cup, explain his good intent and let him get back to work. He is missing vital reps with the team.

The process requires evaluations by NFL\Union agreed doctors and eval people, Dion agreeing to medical compliant and some other stuff before commissioner makes a ruling...remember they said it was a 45 -60 days period from the time he asked for reinstatement.

Here's the procedure: substitute Jordan for Blackmon in this instances, Jordan reinstatement eligibility data was 28 April 2016.

First thing to know: According to the substance-abuse policy, Goodell has the sole discretion to determine if and when a player will be allowed to return. Whether a player adheres to his treatment plan during his suspension is a significant consideration, and a player must meet certain requirements determined by the substance-abuse policy’s medical director as well as other requirements.

Here are the requirements outlined in the substance abuse policy:

A player must formally apply in writing no sooner than 60 days before the one-year anniversary day of the letter he received from the NFL notifying him he was suspended. In Blackmon’s case, he was suspended on Nov. 1, 2013.

In the player’s application he must include information about his treatment, abstinence from substance abuse throughout the entire suspension, involvement in any substance-abuse related incidences, and arrest and/or convictions for any criminal activity (including substance-abuse related offenses).

Blackmon had checked himself into a treatment facility in September in an effort to deal with substance-abuse issues. That came roughly two months after his third arrest involving alcohol or marijuana, which happened on July 23, 2014 in Edmond, Oklahoma, after police stopped Blackmon for a traffic violation, found marijuana in his car, and charged him with possession of marijuana.

He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor marijuana possession on Nov. 20, 2014. The charge will be reduced to a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct if Blackmon does not commit any crimes over the six months from the date he entered the plea agreement.

Within 45 days of receiving the application, the player is interviewed by the program’s medical director and medical advisor. They will then make a recommendation to Goodell.

The player has to submit medical release forms to allow Goodell’s staff and the NFLPA Executive Director’s staff to review the player’s substance abuse history. That includes attendance at any counseling, 12-step programs, or other programs plus medical findings and treatment recommendations.

The player has to submit to urine testing by an NFL representative at a frequency determined by the program’s medical advisor.

The player then has to meet with Goodell or his representatives and agree to comply with any conditions imposed by Goodell for reinstatement.

If a player is reinstated, he remains in Stage 3 for the rest of his NFL career and submits to continued testing and treatment. Any violations will lead to indefinite banishment. However, if a player has not had any positive tests in the 24 months after his reinstatement, he can be discharged from Stage 3.

PS: Jordan waited before applying for reinstatement.

I don't understand, Omar posed a question about being in shape, he didn't say he was out of shape.

Despite being eligible to apply for reinstatement in late April, Jordan didn't begin the process until June, which sources say raised a number of red flags inside the organization.

Has Jordan taken care of himself physically and mentally while banished from the NFL for a full season?

Is Jordan in football shape, and is he focused and clean?

And, most importantly, is Jordan's heart in the game? Is he playing football for the right reasons, and can he mentally handle the ups and downs that come with professional sports?

That's a lot different than saying he's out of shape.

That's not the omar tidbit they're talking about. There was a tweet (or something) along the lines of "rumor is he's not in great shape."
 
And while depth at linebacker remains a concern, there's some doubt that Jordan, who I'm told weighs over 280 pounds, is in good enough shape to drop back into coverage these days.

later in the same blog:
"...And while depth at linebacker remains a concern, there's some doubt that Jordan, who I'm told weighs over 280 pounds, is in good enough shape to drop back into coverage these days..."
 
"..Hendrickson also refuted a report in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that Jordan is out of shape, calling it “a bunch of foolishness.” Jordan’s trainer said recently that Jordan has lost 12 or 13 pounds and weighed under 270 pounds..."

foolish = Omar
