Suspended Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon Receives Suspended Sentence & Probation For 2015 DUI Arrest

According to Mark Cooper, a Judge accepted suspended Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon‘s guilty plea on Wednesday

Blackmon received a one-year suspended sentence and probation for his role in the matter, which means he will avoid jail time.

He previously told the court that he is currently living in Dallas and travels to Oklahoma twice a week for alcohol abuse classes.

All of this stems from an arrest for a DUI that occurred on December 19th. This was Blackmon’s second arrest since he was suspended indefinitely by the NFL.

Last year, Blackmon was arrested after he was stopped for a traffic violation when officers smelled an odor of marijuana coming from the car. After searching the vehicle, the police did in fact find marijuana, which led to him being taken into custody.

Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell said before the start of last year season he doubts Blackmon ever plays in the NFL again.

“Common sense would probably be if you haven’t played football in two and half years, apparently that’s not a priority for you,” Caldwell said, per Mark Long. “Realistically I think when you’re away from the game (this long), what you were once is not what you probably will be. Your skills do erode, especially if you’re not staying in tip-top shape and you’re not in football shape.”

Blackmon, 26, still has one year remaining on his four-year, $18.5 million rookie contract. He would’ve made a base salary of $2,914,365 for the 2015 season had he been instated and the Jaguars elected to keep him on their roster.

In 2013, Blackmon appeared in only four games, registering 29 catches for 415 yards and a touchdown.
