Tannenbaum interview

In the three years since, Jordan has missed nearly as many games due to suspension (22) as times he’s actually been on the field (26).

Jordan is a three-time violator of the league’s substance abuse policy, and is still serving a yearlong suspension that cost him all of 2015. The ban is expected to run at least through April 27.

The Dolphins have been tight-lipped about their plans for Jordan -- assuming he even returns to football. Based on the terms of the league’s policy, his suspension will seemingly keep him out of the beginning of the team’s spring conditioning program.

Jordan is in Stage Three of the NFL’s substance-abuse program, which means he is subject to as many as 10 drug tests a month.

Plus it’s no sure bet that he will be activated, even if Jordan has been clean the last year.

Jordan’s reinstatement is solely at the discretion of commissioner Roger Goodell, according to the league's policy.

The NFL declined comment when asked specifically about Jordan’s status for 2016.

Tannenbaum, meanwhile, was not asked directly about Jordan on 790 The Ticket on Friday morning.



Ya not expecting a thing from Jordan..

Im expecting him to continue to be the bust that we drafted and fully expect some fans to be excited by him being the third overall pick and quite ignoring his actual lack of contribution to the team.
Its par for the course
 
I want to be able to cut Jordan and take his cap money to spend in other places.
 
What happens to Jordan's cap hit if he is not reinstated as opposed to being cut?

•Defensive end Dion Jordan

Real salary in 2016: $3.21M; dead money: $3M; salary cleared: $3.21M

Jordan has been suspended twice in the past two years, and he's one failed drug test away from missing another NFL season. If Miami cuts the 2013 first-round pick, the franchise would swallow $3 million in dead money. But if Jordan is suspended again, the salary and cap hit comes off the books without penalty. That is why the Dolphins will likely let the process play itself out, and see if Jordan even wants to play football anymore.

I personally dont give one damn if he wants to play football anymore, I will take 3 million dollar players over this six million dollar player
 
Who cares about Dion Jordan? I hate these softball media interviews. Tannenbaum talked directly about the need for consensus in player acquisition. Why didn't anyone follow up and ask him what happens when here isn't consensus?

It is inevitable that the coaches, scouts, and/or FO will disagree on a player. Does Grier override the coaching staff and make the pick anyway? Does Tannenbaum serve as he final arbiter if there is a disagreement?

These are the things I want to know.
 
At this point you couldn't even get a Baby Ruth in trade for the guy. His worth is zero to anyone but Miami and at 6m for this season its probably the biggest draft bust in Miami history.

I don't think you are left with any choice but to cut your loss, unless he shows up off suspension in phenomenal shape (which I doubt) you just cut him take the hit and use the money to sign some draft picks.
 
Why does Tannenbaum continue to talk about the things that NBA teams are doing? Who cares about the NBA, this is football.

wondered that. I suppose cuz he had more success as an nba agent than an nfl gm
 
It makes me sick. If Jordan had his act together he had the ability to develop into a good NFL DE. He has size, long arms, speed and athleticism. What a fricken waste.

Maybe , maybe not I truly was never impressed with him in college and see nothing in his skill set that makes him good at either DE or LB in a 4-3.
