Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Justin Blackmon ended his 12-day holdout Monday and became the final drafted player in the 2012 NFL draft to sign on the dotted line.

According to ESPN, Blackmon and the Jaguars agreed to a four-year deal worth a reported $18.5 million, which is the maximum for a fifth pick under the NFL’s rookie wage system.

Despite his new contract with the Jags, Blackmon isn’t likely to play in the team’s first preseason game Friday against the New York Giants.

As pointed out by CBS Sports, new NFL rules call for a player to have three days of non-contact work before he’s allowed to put on full pads.

The former Oklahoma State star was arrested on an aggravated DUI charge in Stillwater, Okla., in June. He plead guilty to drunken driving last month but avoided jail time.

As a result of his plea bargain, Blackmon received a one-year deferred sentence, 50 hours of community service and a $500 fine. He also will probably join the NFL’s substance abuse program. It was the second DUI charge against Blackmon who received his first after a 2010 arrest.

While Blackmon’s signing certainly comes with a level of risk based on his past problems off the field, NFL.com notes that his abilities as a wideout will be welcomed by a Jaguar team severely lacking in the passing game.

As a junior at OSU Justin Blackmon caught 122 balls for 1,522 yards and 18 touchdowns. The entire Jags receiver corps in 2011 caught just 121 receptions for 1,359 yards and eight touchdowns.

Blackmon, a former Oklahoma State star and the fifth overall selection in the 2012 NFL draft, was booked into jail on June 3 after registering a blood-alcohol level of .24, three times the legal limit in Oklahoma, according to the police affidavit. A second sample registered .26, the affidavit states.

According to ESPN, Judge Michael Stano imposed a deferred sentence of one year, meaning Blackmon will serve no jail time if he fulfills the terms of his sentence. Blackmon was fined $500 and ordered to complete 50 hours of community service.

In addition, the 22-year-old receiver is required to pay a $100 assessment to a drug abuse treatment fund and will be under district attorney supervision for a full year.

Tulsa World writes Blackmon also must install an interlock device — a breathalyzer-type mechanism which requires the operator to exhale into it before he or she can start the motor vehicle — on his car.

Following his arrest (his second alcohol-related incident in less than two years) in June, Justin Blackmon apologized in a press conference and said he didn’t have a drinking problem, but said he’ll abstain from alcohol use for now.

“I’m done. Right now, I’m done with all that. … I can’t promise you 10 years down the road that I’m going to be done. I just know that as of right now and what I can speak of.”

Jaguars training camp begins on Thursday.

Justin Blackmon DUI Case: Jagaurs WR Pleads Guilty to Drunken Driving is a post from: The Inquisitr

Justin Blackmon, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ first-round NFL draft pick, was arrested for drunk driving late Sunday night. Despite blowing a .24 and a .26 on his breathalyzer test, the newest member of the Jaguars plead not guilty to DUI charges.

The NFL Network reports that Blackmon was “argumentative” with police when he was pulled over. Apparently, Blackmon was tailed by police for more than four blocks before he pulled over to the side of the road. When he did, he was upset with the officers for “harassing” him.

Blackmon said:

“I just flew in. I don’t know why you are harassing me.”

Jacksonville.com reports that a hearing has been set for July 24th.

The Jaguar is expected to head to Jacksonville today for off-season conditioning drills. He will likely to hold a press conference later this week.

NFL.com reports that the Jaguars are currently making a push to sell season tickets and Blackmon was scheduled to appear at event on Friday. It’s unclear if Blackmon is still invited to the invite but his relationship with the Jaguars is definitely not off to a good start.

According to the website, the Jaguars may not offer Blackmon a fully guaranteed contract like Patrick Peterson, last year’s No.5 overall pick, received.

But a guaranteed contract may not be on Blackmon’s mind at the moment. According to Payne County District Attorney Tom Lee, Blackmon will not be able to plea to a lesser charge. Lee said that Oklahoma law requires people who score 0.15 or higher on their breathalyzer test to be charged with aggravated DUI. The District Attorney said that Blackmon will either accept aggravated DUI charges or will face trial.

The Inquisitr reported earlier that this is the second time that Blackmon has been arrested for a DUI. In 2010, he was arrested for speeding and suspicion of DUI. The charge was lessened to a minor in possession of beer, and Blackmon received fined.

ESPN writes that Blackmon, a former Oklahoma State standout, was pulled over shortly after 3am on Sunday, for speeding and “driving over the center line.”

According to arresting officer Capt. Randy Dickerson, Blackmon then submitted to a breathalyzer test and blew a .24 — three times the legal limit of .08 in Oklahoma.

Following Blackmon’s arrest, Jaguars spokesman Dan Edwards said:

“We are aware of the report and are gathering information. We don’t have any comment at this time.”

Blackmon, 22, was released from jail Sunday afternoon on $1,000 bond. He’s due in court on Monday, according to The Associated Press.

Despite the severity of the DUI arrest, ABC points out that it isn’t Blackmon’s first. In 2010, the star wide reciever was again arrested on a misdemeanor DUI charge in Texas after officers caught him speeding.
