Dion Jordan to Apply for Reisnstatment this week

Sweet, get him and play him at slb. Bye bye Misi...

My prediction is that Jordan will be playing for the 49er's before the regular season begins. I just don't see things working out for him in Miami. Unless he comes in and lights it up from the beginning of camp, I think the FO will see what they can get in a trade for him. Since the Eagles were about to trade for him before him last suspension and Kelly is now in San Francisco, they are the one team who might be willing to trade a late round pick for Jordan.

your prediction sucks JW..sorry..jmo...I dont even talk to teams now that he's on the right path, you dont let talent at that hi level walk at 26 if the head is on right on..sounds like it is..dion stock is up...dont even talk about a trade unless your packing some heat.

Im really excited..I need a drink.

so when he was hiding that shoulder injury and adding weight like he was told, he was taking painkillers, drinking..he lost himself...I get that..I forgive him, he's been thru a lot in life, and is reminded by every day when he looks in the mirror at his body being scarred.

Dion jordan on a mission...That type of athletic ability with an edge....yes please..

we just added another first round pick to our defense...

ok the exciting part, so he's around 268 lbs from what the article said and has only been working out 2 months..lets see we got 2 months before camp starts, Ithink we can expect him to lose another 12 to 15 lbs, which would bring him around 252-255..Then, a full camp in miami, another 5 lbs...lets say 250....exactly where we want him...I need another drink..holy bleep...this is really happening.

can you imagine Dion Jordan..Suh..Wake..Phillips..Williams..Jones..Kiko ..Ifo..

speaking of Kiko and Ifo...

this oregon connection/trio is quite the story..could you imagine if they all become stars on our team...''The quack attack baby"'

I agree with DJ. Trading him for a low round pick would be pretty dumb. Get him to play the Leo position.

ugggh, I can't wait for prohibition to end.

Dion Jordan will be lucky to make any roster IMO.

Working out for only two months after being out of the league for more than one season is encouraging to you?

I'm most interested to hear the coaching staff comment on Jordan after he is reinstated.
Who knows what the plan is for him.... Linebacker? DE seems pretty deep right now, but that group is lacking youth.

your right its going to be hard, when the body is neglected like his was, its not gonna come back in 4 months, he's gonna have to get to 250 lbs to be his best with fluid explosive movement..but i aint given up on a rare talent who's been thru this.

http://sports.yahoo.com/video/dion-jordans-dedication-nfl-dream-045900525.html

bring him in slowly, let him chase the ball when he's on the field, dont pigeon hole him, let him run and chase.

lets just continue to look long term here..he's a dolphin, he's ours..he can come back, I understand the time frame.

Play him at the Leo until Williams or Wake fizzles, then put him at DE...

We are super deep at DE right now, but I have a hard time believing after Gase has stressed versatility that Dion won't be accepted as the most versatile defensive player we have.

I mean, the Pats still have Gronkowski, right?

I just don't think he's a good football player, he wasn't all that great in college, and when he came here, his good plays were few and far in between.

I also don't think he's self motivated, he didn't start getting in shape until a couple months ago, he's been taking the easy way so far in his career.

I expect nothing from him, so if we get something I'll be pleasantly surprised.

My stance as well.

I thought he was an excellent football player coming out..cant argue with the other stuff, but are you taking into account what he's been thru and how a man come come to some revelations in life?

There are a lot of athlete's that have had a rough life, and it's a shame, but that isn't a measuring factor, the team isn't going to give him a break because of that, and Derek Wake stories are very rare, so I'm just not counting on anything, if he plays well I'll be happy.

Why did he wait three months to apply for reinstatement?

Any player -- in this case, Jordan -- who has been banished under Stage Three of the NFL's drug policy may apply formally in writing for reinstatement up to 60 days before the one-year anniversary date of the letter so banishing him. Jordan was banished with the opportunity to seek reinstatement after one year on April 28, 2015. That means he was eligible to begin the process of getting back in the league as early as February.

I haven't seen anything that indicates he has any desire to actually play football. Pick up the check? Sure. Play football? Not really.

Said this last month, if he's been training how for the last 12-15 months HARD, I would be encouraged. But if he just been NOW getting into shape, why bother? He's still the same character before he got suspended.

there a lot of players that were left by their crack head mother at 12 years old with no father, and almost burnt to death?..40 percent of his body is covered in scars?

no, there is not a lot of players that have walked in those shoes.a few yes..

if you dont like his game thats fine.

I'm not counting on anything, I'm going alongside with what I know..he's training, he's reinstating, and he's trying to get his life together, I combine that with his physical talents, and Im in..exciting news to me..dude hit low, and wants to rebound..

what part? I was posing the question in a rhetorical way, he said a ''lot of players had rough times'' I simply made his story more personal and unique.

If he goes to SanFran I want Anthony Davis at RG :shifty:

As I said, it's a shame that he had to go through that, just not sure what that has to do with football.

I had no idea...

it has to do with his hiatus from the game and me wanting to give him a pass.
