Trade talks about Fournette. Not surprising after his tweet about wanting to sign Cam...

Minshew had a good year that must have been encouraging to the fanbase, coaching staff, and front office. The last thing they need is a QB controversy when Minshew should be settling in with the team and getting all the first team snaps. I really don't know why LF would want Cam When Minshew looks to clearly be Jacksonville's QB of the future.

Leonard talks too much imo. He acts like he is a superstar when he has had 1 decent year. He is so talented, and I’d like to see him put it all together, but he needs to just shut up and go to work.

In fairness, if I played for the jags, I would be trying to get traded. Just ask Ngakoue

He has been a pain to them since he got there.

Not a bad play if it gets him out of Jacksonville
It’s a shame he’s never been on a team in college or pro that had a decent qb

Great so the Jags need to bring in some RBs too while they’re at it.

Minshew showed promise but he did not have a good enough year to be the unquestioned franchise QB. Even the Jags front office has discussed the possibility of drafting a QB early.

Running backs don’t have the luxury of staying quiet and being the good soldier anymore. They’re being used up and short changed on purpose now days and have to push their way out of bad situations. Fournette realistically has 5 more prime years and needs to find a team he can win with now. Jacksonville is a steaming pile, he carried that offense to one bad call away from a Super Bowl as a rookie. Since then their front office and staff have made the Browns look competent. This is his only way out, can’t blame him.

That was a stupid thing for Fournette to do. Unless he wanted to get traded, in which case it was smart.

If you want competition, then Cam's not your guy. He doesn't want to work for it. He wants it handed to him, plus he's overpaid and on the decline.

Yea you do




But in all fairness I think minshew is incredibly overrated. He is a mediocre QB (at best) who got his popularity because of some social media bullshite

There was a ton of media hype for the guy, but his play last season was about what you'd expect from a 6th round rookie. If they Jaguars are sticking with him as starter and trying to trade Fournette, it is because they are going to tank the season.

would love to get rid of LF and replace him with Clyde . I think clyde edwards-helaire is a maurice jones drew clone. Would love this swap.

I mean
Have you seen the Jacksonville offensive line?

You could put any RB in the country in Jacksonvilles offense and they'd struggle

Or maybe it's because in 12 games, he threw for 3200 yards, 21 TDs and 6 INTs as a rookie

Leonardo DeFournette needs to stfu and play running back and leave the personnel moves to the pros.

If Fournette had played last year would he have missed the two play off games like he did the bowl game? Surely he wouldn't have wanted to get hurt...right? Or can you NOT get hurt in play off games? He lost me years ago.

He’s overly emotional and still young. He doesn’t seem very bright so I doubt he thought of trying to get traded on his own.
