joewilly12 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Possible Leonard Fournette landing spots after surprising Jaguars release By Ryan Dunleavy August 31, 2020 | 10:17am The Jacksonville Jaguars are doing everything possible to make sure they lack teeth. Running back Leonard Fournette was waived Monday morning in a move that will fan the flames of tanking allegations. The news comes one day after the Jaguars traded their top defensive player, disgruntled pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue, to the Minnesota Vikings for two draft picks. The prize for being the worst team in the NFL this season is the No. 1 overall pick and the good fortune of supposed can’t-miss franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence of Clemson. Fournette was the No. 4 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft – ahead of Christian McCaffrey, Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. But Fournette, 25, hasn’t been a total bust and should have something left in the tank even though a limited trade market developed for his services. He rushed for a career-high 1,152 yards in 15 games last season and is averaging four yards per carry with 17 rushing touchdowns for his career. The Jaguars tried and failed to trade Fournette, who now is subject to waivers. If he is claimed, a team inherits his contract with a $4.1 million base salary. Here are seven teams that might be interested, especially if he clears waivers and needs a new contract. Enlarge Image Possible free-agent landing spots for Leonard Fournette: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tom Brady firing passes to Mike Evans, Rob Gronkowski and Chris Godwin is tantalizing, but the backfield combination of disappointing starter Ronald Jones, veteran LeSean McCoy and rookie Ke’Shawn Vaughn is underwhelming. It’s one of the few places Fournette could be a starter right away. Chicago Bears David Montgomery’s availability for the start of the season is in question because of an injured groin suffered in training camp last week. Tarik Cohen is more of a complementary pass-catching back than a workhorse like Fournette, who ranks eighth in rushing yards after contact since 2017, according to Pro Football Focus. Los Angeles Rams How about reuniting with another Jaguars cast-off, Jalen Ramsey? The Rams are set to start rookie Cam Akers, with Darrell Henderson and Malcom Brown as backups. They cut their own running back top-10 draft pick, Todd Gurley, at a huge salary cap hit earlier this offseason, but these are different financial circumstances.Like his father did as coach of the Denver Broncos, Kyle Shanahan is showing he can find productive running backs on the street. Most fans had never heard of journeyman Raheem Mostert until the run to Super Bowl LIV. Now Mostert received a pay bump and is penciled in to start over Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon. Fournette might overcrowd this backfield, but he would be the most talented option. Washington Football Team It is naïve to think 35-year-old future Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson will perform like he did at his peak. The recent release of Derrius Guice, who faces domestic violence charges and rape accusations, left a hole on the depth chart that Fournette could fill. Washington has an unusual strategy for a bad team, collecting veterans rather than giving reps to rookies. Atlanta Falcons They signed Gurley, who is still an unknown after the way his last two seasons finished. Fournette could provide insurance if Gurley’s mysterious injuries mean he is finished. The Super Bowl window is closing on the Falcons, if it is not already shut. New England Patriots Isn’t this where careers go for revival? The Patriots have a running back battle between Sony Michel and Damien Harris, but Bill Belichick isn’t afraid to ruffle feathers by bringing a new talent into the room. Michel had offseason foot surgery but returned to practice last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BCJet Posted August 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2020 Im not someone who thinks we should sign every player who gets cut. I also understand Fournette is a bit of a malcontent and costs $4 million. Also it could really affect things with Bell. That being said - someone really needs to explain how we needed RB depth enough to trade a conditional pick 72 hours ago for pitiful Kalen Balladge and are not interested in Leonard Fournette AFTER losing Perinne. Isnt a big part of the issue with Bell that he is too patient - and correct me if im wrong, but I think Fournette is a one cut/straight line type runner. The AFC east is wide open and any good coach (not sure Gase is one) could figure out how to use Bell in the slot and Fournette as the RB and design the offense around that and 2 TE sets with Herndon and Wesco. That would take a lot of pressure off the line and Sam and would also help fix our WR problem. Its confusing to me why he isnt worth at 6th round pick from us given what the team has done the last 3 days 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death2NE Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Reading through this thread , it is clear now why every other topic makes me want to gauge out my eyeballs . Leonard fournette is a decent nfl rb, he’s not shifty he doesn’t run particularly hard but he’s got good top end speed for someone who’s probably 230+ and he can receive OK out of the backfield . Weigh that against his attitude that has been a story every single year of his career and it makes no sense to bring him here . The locker room is finally almost big mouth and big attitude free and everyone wants to sign a rb with a big mouth a big attitude and will be completely inefficient behind our line unless they are SIGNIFICANTLY improved over last year . Say it with me ... RBs DO NOT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE . Give literally almost any nfl talented rb a good offensive line and play caller and they’ll look good . Bad offensive line and NO RB IN NFL HISTORY would look good . There’s a handful of exceptions from my eyeball test who do provide a noticeable improvement over the dime a dozen but even they wouldn’t be good without blocking and play calling : McCaffrey Barkley Zeke (I think)Kamara I thinkJoe mixon Bell (I think)Aaron Jones Kareem Hunt That’s the short list of guys I think are worth going out of the way to pay extra and could be better than the rest given the same exact circumstances Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Gase guy to be around that knows the offense a bit and can help out and be a 4th rb to activate in the event someone like Perine got hurt was much more likely the thought . And under the current circumstance of every and anybody capable of catching a pass being injured on this team , bell is MUCH more valuable than fournette , fournettes never lining up in slot or making athletic catches like bell did many times last year Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at $4M you're already factoring that in when you put in a claim. Giving up a pick or signing him at "market value" makes little sense. But a cheap claim? Sure.
