By now you know Tanard Jackson, known affectionately as T-Jack around Tampa Bay, has been officially re-instated by commissioner Roger Goodell. That means Jackson has done what he was told to do to get back into football, including obvious substance abuse treatments if any.
He will NOT immediately count against the Bucs roster, but he CAN start practicing right away with the team. He has had ZERO contact with the team in the last year, and MAY not ready to play football at this time. However, in two weeks, the Bucs have to choose to activate him or let him go if he’s not up to speed. They can activate him before that if they want to. Once they do, the Bucs will have to let go of a player to clear a roster spot.
Jackson reportedly showed up at One Buc looking fit. He was able to attend Josh Freeman’s mini camp at IMG over the summer, as that was not an NFL sanctioned event.
My guess is Tanard Jackson will be a starter after the BYE week. But the issues will remain for a bit longer- Tanard is coming back to the Bucs with three strikes on his record. One more slip up, and he is done- for life. He will never be allowed to play in the NFL ever again if he tests positive one more time. Also, the NFL will be looking at him like a hawk.
As someone who knows a bit about the lure of subtance abuse, once sober, its simply a matter of choice. Jackson needs to put football first, as well as his friends and family, who he has let down already. “This organization has stood by me through a lot,” he said. “All I can say is I’m proud to have those guys in my corner.”
Welcome Back T-Jack.

A lady that i know just came from columbia,
She smiled because i did not understand.
Then she held out some marijuana, ha ha!
She said it was the best in all the land.
And i said,
“no, no, no, no, i don’t smoke it no more,
I’m tired of waking up on the floor.
No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door.”
(ah-ah-aye-aye)
A woman that i know just came from majorca, spain,
She smiled because i did not understand. (parazzi! Parazzi!) (ole!)
Then she held out a ten pound bag of cocaine,

No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze,
And then it makes it hard to find the door.”

He smiled because i did not understand.
Then he held out some moonshine whiskey, oh ho,
He said it was the best in all the land. (and he wasn’t joking!!!)

And then it makes it hard to find the door.”
Well, i said,

And then it makes it hard to find the door.”
