The Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League have acquired the rights to Justin Blackmon. Wait, what in the world does that mean? Well, according to Sportsnet, if Blackmon is ever reinstated by the NFL (this is a prerequisite), the Argonauts could apparently pick him up.
The Toronto Argonauts added Blackmon, the suspended Jaguars deep-threat who quickly became a draft bust after being taken fifth overall in 2012 by Jacksonville, to their “confidential” negotiation list earlier this month.
Under the “Ricky Williams rule” instituted nearly a decade ago, any player suspended by another professional football league (NFL, Arena) would be ineligible to play in the CFL, until that discipline is rescinded.
