The Jacksonville Jaguars Have Waived Leonard Fournette

by Staff Reporter

Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports

The Jacksonville Jaguars waived former LSU star and No. 4 overall pick Leonard Fournette on Monday morning. Per ESPN:

quote:
The move ends a tumultuous three-year run in which Fournette rushed for 2,631 yards and 17 touchdowns. The Jaguars didn't pick up his fifth-year option during the offseason and actively pursued a trade without receiving any serious offers.

"At the end of the day, I just felt that was the best decision for us as a team," coach Doug Marrone told reporters. "I think it gives us the best opportunity, with the skill sets that we have with the other players in there, I just thought that that was the best for the team.

"... We exhausted all trade opportunities. We weren't able to get anything there."

More to the story if the Jags couldn't even get a 5th or 6th round pick as a trade option.

Reported that he was a malcontent, and wouldn't keep his mouth shut in the locker room.

KiwiHead•69 months

Fournette is gonna be just fine.

Might have to Pawn them chains.

Belichick is going to be all over this.

JakeFromStateFarm•69 months

Be interesting to see if he can land on a team that actually has a passing game. He’s never had one of those.

What a flop. Jags could have had Mahomes with that pick, lol

Laffy Taffy Tiger•69 months

They would have ruined him like they have every other pick

Dr. Morgus•69 months

He did everything he could to get out of Jacksonville. He will have a nice second team career if he wants to. If.

SouthernInsanity•69 months

I'm sure CLM sent the Jacksonville his perfect offensive playbook.

He probably finally got woke and is marching full time now.

Who didn't see this coming?

Hope the Saints pick him up. him and AK would pair nicely

NASA_ISS_Tiger•69 months

Did he ever recover from that high ankle sprain?

Known him as a class act since aug.

It's Duval. He was playing from behind at the start.

Curious to see who gives him the next chance and hope he can get back to form with them.

FATBOY TIGER•69 months

Haha

brewdrees•69 months

Anywhere but New Orleans, he'll most likely end up in the NFC.

gameovergt•69 months

Duval is not going to miss him.

Ragamuffin Hiker•69 months

why would this surprise anyone at this point in time? LF7 was not happy with the Jags and they were not pleased with him. too much talent to not be picked up by another team...we will see him in an NFL backfield very soon...
