Dion Jordan will miss the 2015 season, and therefore will not be an Eagle.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Dolphins' Dion Jordan failed a drug test, the second of his career, which will result in Jordan being suspended for the entire 2015 season.
Dion Jordan, 3rd pick in 2013, is being suspended for 2015 season for another substance abuse policy violation, league sources told ESPN.

More interestingly, again according to Schefter, the Eagles were close to trading for Jordan before the suspension was known.
Interesting part is that Eagles and Dolphins were nearing a trade for Dion Jordan. Then came the diluted sample and suspension. So no deal.

Three days ago, we noted that Jordan had missed voluntary workout in Miami and the Eagles could have interest if the Dolphins were willing to trade him for a reasonable offer. It would appear the Eagles dodged a bullet on that one.
