Well, apparently the Jaguars have no issues with holding Blackmon:
The clock is stopped on Justin Blackmon's contract while he's suspended.
It's one of the many reasons the Jaguars would be silly to cut Blackmon even though he's violated the league's substance abuse policy three times. He's not taking up a roster spot, they don't have to pay his salary and they'll have him under club control cheaply for three seasons if he ever does get reinstated. Blackmon is not expected to see the field until 2015 at the earliest.
Is your league a salary cap league? If so, you may have a point but if not, thEn it is much more like what has been said. You invest your resources into what you want, knowing and weighing the risks and you live with it, during good and bad times.
So, if his suspension doesn't cause the jags to spend any money OR burn one of their own 53 man roster spots, why should I be forced to do so on a dynasty team?
I don't see a relevant distinction between truly injured (IR) vs. Suspended. Somehow it's that players "fault" for getting suspended and not another players "fault" for getting injured, therefore one should and the other shouldn't count toward roster spots?

The only consistent way to do this is either to have "IR" or not have "IR" for dynasty. And if you have it, suspended players should be eligible. I sat through a year of holding Lattimore as well, even though he wasn't even officially earning a year of NFL credit.

My leagues are all "cut or carry, fwiw, and I have no problems with that, even though I have a couple of these knuckleheads from time to time. I enjoy when I have them and gripe when they get out of line, just like what most people do.
