Jaguars not inclined to let Justin Blackmon head north

There’s a team in Canada that would like to sign Justin Blackmon. But the team in America that holds his rights doesn’t seem inclined to let him go.

According to Alex Marvez of FOX Sports, the Jaguars would “most likely not” release the former No. 5 overall pick from his contract to pursue a career in the CFL.

Sportsnet.ca reported that the Toronto Argonauts added him to their “confidential” negotiating list in August (though it didn’t stay that way for long). That would give them Blackmon’s exclusive rights if he ever played in the CFL.
