JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A person familiar with the situation says the Jacksonville Jaguars have notified running back Leonard Fournette that his suspension late last month voided the remaining guarantees in his four-year rookie contract.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Sunday night. The person said the Jaguars notified Fournette of the action weeks ago. Fournette could challenge the decision.

The fourth overall pick in the 2017 draft was suspended a week without pay for leaving the bench, running across the field and instigating a fight with Buffalo defensive end Shaq Lawson on Nov. 25. Fournette lost nearly $100,000 in salary during the suspension. It could cost him $7.1 million more if the Jaguars decided to cut him with no guaranteed money remaining.

First step in basically cutting ties or they are trying to pressure Fournette into cleaning up his act

It makes it a little clearer why he is looking so uninterested on the sidelines

He gone. Also makes Coughlin's comments today ring a little more hollow. Easy to call out two guys that aren't going to be on the team next year.

Why? He's a fungible resource not worth the overhead.
