It was Blackmon’s third alcohol-related arrest and fourth arrest overall. He hasn’t practiced or played since Week 8 of the 2013 season, and he’s been suspended indefinitely since.

NFL | Reggie Ragland has heart condition
Alabama LB Reggie Ragland (heart) was diagnosed with an enlarged aorta in his heart, which isn’t expected to alter his football career. It’s an issue that he must watch closely, according to seven teams, and he could fall in the 2016 NFL Draft because of it.
Giants | G-Men to take tackle first
Michigan State OT Jack Conklin could land with the New York Giants, who are ‘for sure’ going to take the best available offensive tackle at No. 10 overall in the 2016 NFL Draft, according to a source. Notre Dame OT Ronnie Stanley and Ole Miss OT Laremy Tunsil are expected to be drafted before No. 10.

NFL | Teams shying away from Myles Jack
UCLA LB Myles Jack (knee) has ‘buyer beware’ stamped on him going into the first round of the NFL Draft Thursday, April 28. Scouts and executives are starting to shy away from him because of the uncertainty surrounding the degenerative meniscus issues in his right knee. He’s expected to be available Day 1 as a rookie, but his knee likely will require microfracture surgery eventually. Teams are likely to be reluctant to use a first-round pick on him.
Broncos | Von Miller negotiations peaceful
Denver Broncos franchise free-agent LB Von Miller said negotiations on a long-term deal with the Broncos are ‘just business.’ ‘My teammates know what type of teammate I am,’ Miller said. ‘They know what type of guy I am. It’s just the business part of it. There’s really no hard feelings or anything like that. (The Broncos) know what type of guy I am. I’m expecting a deal any day. That’s just the type of mindset I have.’
Footballguys View: We don’t know how long this will take (maybe until camp starts) but the Broncos will eventually pay the man. He’s too important to the cause to not do so.
Browns | Joe Thomas won’t be dealt
Cleveland Browns OT Joe Thomas said that team officials told him they have no plans to trade him.
Footballguys View: Allowing Alex Mack to leave and then getting rid of Thomas would be a good way to put Browns fans on a ledge. They need him to help them keep the quarterbacks they have upright.
