NFL Notes: Dion Jordan, Draft, 49ers, & Falcons

Dion Jordan

• Armando Salugero writes that Dolphins DE Dion Jordan is eligible to apply for reinstatement now that he’s served his suspension after violating the NFL’s drug policy.
• Jordan was eligible to begin the process of being reinstated back in February, but it isn’t known whether he and his agent have started the process, according to Salguero.
• Salguero adds that the earliest Jordan could be reinstated is April 28.
• One Dolphins source tells Salguero that the team expects to welcome Jordan back if and when he is reinstated, but a separate source mentioned that that is “mere posturing” by the team in hopes of making Jordan available in a trade.

49ers

• Jason Cole of B/R reports that there are no meetings scheduled between the 49ers and quarterback prospects Jared Goff and Carson Wentz.
• However, Cole says that meetings could still be scheduled at some point. San Francisco has already worked out both players, so they’re obviously familiar with them.
• According to Cole, the 49ers are still determining whether they want to draft a quarterback at top of the draft or wait until later and grab someone like Connor Cook.
• Cole adds that 49ers GM Trent Baalke “really likes” Cook.

Falcons
