What’s the story behind this?
White’s Week 1 numbers were not that good at all.

He is also way cheaper contract wise. Why pay Lenny 4 mil when you can pay white 800k?

I find it hard to believe no one could use Lenny right now.

LF7 has always had way more talent that hunger for the game.

When the talent recedes with age, there isn’t anything left with him.

It’s all about the money.

Fournette never really was that great. He's lazy. Throws a good stiff arm every 3-4 games.

Name value alone doesn't carry the same weight that it used to.

Hearing him on Good Morning football a few weeks back he seems happy to be a dad and not chomping at the bit to get on a team. Being well-adjusted doesn't really serve high-performance athletes well.

He used to be bigger and faster than everyone. In the NFL (and especially at RB) you have to add more tools to the toolbox and maybe he doesn't have it in him to do that.

Once he lost that burst his nfl career wasn’t long for this world. Dude always comes in fat to start the year. Hard to hang around at a non premium position when you’re older, expensive and out of shape with no upside.

Fournette told the Tampa Bay Times on Tuesday that he "asked after the season to be (released) and they respected my wishes. So no bad blood. ''


he had guaranteed contract for $2 million if he was cut, not sure if he got since he requested to be released.

You can take a player out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the player. He’s always had a lazy ghetto attitude, even with LSU. His talent was enough to still standout in college, but it could never make him stand out on its on in the NFL. He’s basically Jamarcus Russell as a rb.
