Wow... Dion's throwing his career down the drain. Once that rookie contract ends, say good-bye to the money.

Throwing? I'd say he's already thrown it away. Reports are saying he was close to being traded to Philly until the test results came out.

I would consider him a bust, but I never felt he was worthy of the 3rd overall pick.

Considering what he had to overcome to even play football again, it's shocking to see how he's throwing it all away...

If I was a Miami fan, with zero interest in UO, I would have considered him a bust months ago. This would just be the cherry on top.

Yes, at this point he is a bust! And a dumb azz. I've been a duck fan since the 80's. Really Jordan! Say goodbye and hope to climb back in.

As a Seahawks fan,( and it pains me to say because the couple time I met Jordan, he really seemed like a good guy), I can only compair him to Aaron Curry.

Chip will now be able to pick him up for a ham sandwich and play him at his natural position. I never understood why Dion was so highly rated in the draft - I always thought Kiko would be the best duck coming out that year. Still, Dion has tremendous athletic ability, and I hope he can turn it around.

On a side note: the term 'bust' to me says more about the team drafting the player than the player himself.

The best LB in that group never made it in the pros.

Well at least he'll still be working in the NFL next season.
