If he's done messing around and finally ready to play football this could be a great thing for us this season.

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"'the 23rd, Rocky Raccoon, cuchulainn and 3 others like this. -
I agree with DJ. Trading him for a low round pick would be pretty dumb. Get him to play the Leo position.

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. -

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.resnor likes this. -
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?the 23rd likes this. -
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. -

Why did he wait three months to apply for reinstatement?
I haven't seen anything that indicates he has any desire to actually play football. Pick up the check? Sure. Play football? Not really.Finster likes this. -

DJ changed trainers from Bommarito's to this SF based Tareq Azim character a month or so ago, and that's when they started posting the pics and workout clips, but if you follow the tweets and comments, DJ's been focused on coming back and working out since at least January, NOT the past 2 months. -

But we'll see. Looks to me like he'd have wanted to get back to the team as quickly as he could so he could get all the classroom and training time in before taking it all in one big dose at training camp. Then again, maybe he wanted to skip all the OTAS and minicamps so he waited for 3 months to apply for reinstatement.Finster likes this. -
What DJ's getting at is that Dion Jordan could have done like many others and used the injuries as crutch to be a burden to society, or to have given up on ever playing football again. He could have turned out a dozen different ways. Instead, after being told that he would probably never play again, he excelled in HS and College and was widely panned as the best overall defender in the 2013 draft.
Not expecting him to be an All-pro, but if he can come back and boost our LB corp, then bring it on.Pandarilla and resnor like this. -
I realize I'm taking an optimistic approach on the man..I think its the right move considering his story, I want him to turn his life around and ''not waste his talent'' like he explained, because of that story and how hard his life was..and, I want his talent in our uniform.Agua likes this. -
pain tolerance dude, emotional and physical, to get that scholarship after, the fortitude to become a top 5 pick..to look at the scars on his body every day and keep going..to do it all with no father and a mother who gave him up at 12.Pandarilla likes this. -
