Dion Jordan has agreed to terms with the Seahawks, a source tells Tom Pelissero of USA Today (on Twitter). The former No. 3 overall pick will now try to get a fresh start in a completely different part of the country. 
Late last month, the Dolphins officially released Jordan after weeks of buildup. The 27-year-old held lots of promise upon entering the league in 2013, but he has done very little at the professional level. Jordan was hit with three separate drug policy suspensions and the most recent one cost him the entire 2015 season. Then, in 2016, he suffered a significant knee injury and had surgery without first informing the team. The Dolphins figured they would get another chance to evaluate Jordan, but it wound up being another lost season. After all the headaches, here’s where we are: Jordan has not played in a game since December 28, 2014 and has just three career sacks to his name.
The Seahawks are hoping that their locker room culture can help get Jordan’s career back on track, but he’ll also have to stay healthy in order to contribute.The Seahawks now have five defensive ends under contract: Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, Frank Clark, Garrison Smith, and Jordan.
He won’t last long there. Even though I hate the Seahawks, I think Pete Carroll is a great coach and has high standards. This guy is just another guy who thinks that because he was a top pick he can do what ever he wants whenever he wants and to anyone he wants. There is no place in the NFL let alone in sports for people like this. They need to understand that they need to work and earn everything and nothing will be handed to him.
In all honesty Miami hasn’t had a very good track record with drafting and developing defensive lineman. Seattle has made a living with signing DL who are somewhat afterthoughts such as Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril. People were afraid to draft Flank Clark who had 10 sacks last year, as a rotational player. If anyone can get something out of this guy it’s the Seahawks.
People didn’t want to draft Frank Clark because he is a woman beating POS
This also just proves you shouldn’t waste a high pick on a guy that had one good year in college. Get a guy that has proven time and time again to be productive and doesn’t have any off the field issues.
Good riddance!!! God this guy is a complete waste of talent!! Good luck Seattle, u will need it!! We gave up on this bum years ago!!
Avril nor Bennett were ever considered “afterthoughts,” especially not Bennett, and Avril was considered as an emerging threat and solid talent, along the Lions’ DL.
Although, to your point, I do agree about Miami’s pretty bad track record of drafting and sculpting talent on the defensive line. They took a flier on Cameron Wake, but he really could have succeeded anywhere. Wake’s success is much more due to his own personal growth, maturity, and skillset, rather than anything Miami did. Although, they should get some credit for giving him a chance to play…I suppose..lol
When the Seahawks signed Bennett, it was a one-year $4.8 million dollar (only $1.5 million guaranteed) contract. That’s not the contract of a stud DL, when Bennett came from Tampa he was not considered anywhere near a top free agent and before his 9 sack year only had 4 as his highest total, that contract proves that claim. Don’t forget Bennett was an undrafted free agent, he was not a big name, he didn’t become a big name and a top player until arriving in Seattle. Avril was much more accomplished when he was signed.
With Wake, they signed him as a free agent out of the CFL. But I agree he did flourish with Miami, and was a great pickup for them.
People make mistakes, some forgivable, some not, but you are quite correct in that teams didn’t want to touch Clark because of his really pisspoor judgment and lack of integrity and character.
That is why he fell to the Seahawks, not because they saw talent in a player that was overlooked. Scouts and evaluators alike knew exactly what Clark could potentially bring to the table, just some GM’s, Coaches, and Owners believe in second chances and talent over character and integrity.
While obviously it isn’t quite that black and white, and every individual case is different. When dealing with drafting or signing a “troubled” player, or one that has had an off the field incident or two, Owners, GM’s and coaches have to make a choice between talent, their own standards, the player’s past troubles, and weigh the risks and possible rewards relative to drafting or signing said player…
Obviously, in this circumstance, the Seahawks believed Clark’s talent outweighed his previous troubles…Which, in my opinion, was a terrible moral judgment call, but I’m not an owner, gm, or coach either…So, it is easy for me to criticize, when it isn’t my own reputation, money, or job on the line.
I agree, but the Seahawks have a zero tolerance policy on domestic violence. They did a ton of research in Clark, and used their own investigators to look into the domestic violence case. At the end of the day, Clark was acquitted and never charged, there was not sufficient evidence…in other words he was not proven guilty. I will admit i was surprised when they drafted him because of the allegations….but they obviously felt through multiple interviews and analysis he wasn’t the abusive monster he was pegged to be, and it’s payed off.
