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.

7 years as a starter in the NFL. Why do we have to act as if he’s awful?
probably because he was a top 10 draft pick.

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.

That’s a lot of stupid for one post.

LF came up good, he’s not “ghetto” although I’m sure you think all black people are that.

being a top 10 draft pick doesn't guarantee you 7 years in the NFL. Trent Richardson was the #2 overall pick and was out of the league in 3 years

This is a pretty stupid comparison. JR was a total bust… LF never
Lived
Up to his
Draft position but he played the game pretty decent for a good 5 years… but I can see that his
Is almost 30 and I’m sure not in great shape….

It really is nuts. He's the 4th all-time leading rusher in school history in only 3 years (the 3 above him played 4 seasons) with almost 4000 yards yet he's become a proverbial punching bag on the rant because he didn't win the Heisman in 2015.

And it’s not like he’s ever been in trouble for anything or disrespected LSU in any type of way. I honestly don’t understand it, but you know what they say, nobody hates LSU quite like LSU fans do.. insane
