Dion Jordan Suspended for the whole season

Another wonderful "Ireland" bust. Thanks for the years of busted draft picks Ireland.

The Dolphins traded up to get Jordan at No. 3 in 2013, yet he’s only recorded three career NFL sacks. Last season, he served two separate suspensions, six games in total, for violating the league’s policies on performance-enhancing drugs and substances of abuse. (This latest ban falls under the substance-abuse policy, for those of you keeping score at home.)

The suspension is a bummer because Jordan was awesome at Oregon, but also because it crimps the style of wheelin’-dealin’ Chip Kelly:

Interesting part is that Eagles and Dolphins were nearing a trade for Dion Jordan. Then came the diluted sample and suspension. So no deal.
