MERGED: Dion Jordan suspended 4 games

While not a typical dog-ate-my-homework-and-then-injected-me-with-a-PED-when-I-wasn’t-looking excuse, the fact that there was an “investigation” of the test results suggests that Jordan’s immediate reaction wasn’t, “Damn, I got caught.” His carefully-chosen words create at least a shadow of doubt that the NFL technically can’t dispute given the confidentiality provision of the policy. (Then again, that didn’t stop the NFL from calling out Robert Mathis.)

If/when the NFL and the NFLPA agree to conduct HGH testing, the league will be able to provide more information about whether a guy took stimulants or steroids or a masking agent or something else. In turn, the players will have an appeals process that, for positive tests, entails a third-party arbitrator and not the Commissioner or his hand-picked designee.

Jordan’s appeal process went through the league office, if he even filed one. Either way, the process is now final; he’ll miss 25 percent of the season, losing more than $116,000 in salary and giving up more than $784,000 in signing bonus money.

That’s a total bill of more than $800,000 for the positive test.

That is somewhat true if you had to pick a position -but was wondering how he would match up against Gronk if he plays week one. This was supposed to be the slow time no training camp etc.. not for the Phins.
 
The way things are going; we will be pressing the reset button after the season.:tubes:
 
Always something with our fins…always something…SMH!!!

There is some truth to that.

That is the truth. His impact was small last year, while this year was a projection. Some of those vets who already put in the time, have bigger roles.

If this is gonna happen, its him I would pick out of the bunch.

Unlike BUF,who lost a quality every down player. Miami lost a rotational player at this point in his,career.

which is kind of sad, as he's a 3rd overall pick. would have hoped he would have been starting opposite of wake by now. or at least heavily rotated.

True but we will still get to see how he performs in training camp and preseason. So we will have a better idea on how much he his added weight will help his game and where he fits in on the defense.
