Stay connected with SB Nation

Jacksonville Jaguars 1st-round pick Justin Blackmon was arrested for a DUI early Sunday morning after allegedly blowing a .24 BAC on his breathalyzer test. Blackmon was released on a $1,000 bond and will meet with a Payne County judge on Monday at 1:30 p.m. ET for arraignment. While Blackmon's legal punishment and potential league punishment are yet to be decided, the incident will undoubtedly hurt his contract negotiations.

The Jaguars will also likely include clauses in the deal involving alcohol and off-field transgressions, which would force Blackmon to pay back guaranteed money.
