Dude had 171 runs of 3 yards or less which led the NFL. Yeah, he's inefficient but you'll hear "But his O-line" as an excuse.

Fournette isn't an upgrade over any of their starters. He's about as effective as an old Adrian Peterson now, so Washington makes the most sense

You don’t think Fournette is better than David Montgomery? Also the Lions drafted Swift because they don’t trust Kerryon.

It’s not necessarily about whose > than who in a vacuum in some situations. Bears clearly really like Montgomery and want to see him make a second year leap.

Adding fournette in the mix could just be a fork in the road of that players development

If Leonard Fournette wins his grievance, he has no offset language so he can double-dip on his new team. If he loses due to failure to practice after his suspension, he is out $4M and the team clears it from their cap.



Can't afford too many of those spiffy Alton Sterling t-shirts if you lose 4 big ones.

And? What's fournette done to show he's an upgrade over Kerryon? Just because a team doesn't have a great situation at RB doesn't mean adding an average back can just go in and be an upgrade. Forget about what he did at LSU. Fournette is not a good NFL running back

I have the to think the Patriots will take a long look. They have plenty of cap space and their RB are Sony Michel, Lamar Miller, James White and Rex Burkhead. Lamar Miller is on a 1 year 1 million dollar contract with 200K guaranteed. They cut him and bring in Leonard.

I think it's more you don't want your backfield filled with Jaguars reject like Wentz and 4net.

The jaguars problem has been around for years, drafting. They never seemed to draft correctly, but within the past 2 years I think they have been doing a phenomenal job.

The real reason for this downfall from their championship campaign a couple years was the culture. It started with one of the coach (I don’t remember), but the players were a virus.

Their solution? Trade the attitude.
Dante fowler, jalen Ramsey, yannick, fournet

They trying to get a new culture in the locker room

Severely reaching for Bortles in the draft and then extending him plus a few bad free agent signings have hurt that franchise. They haven't had consistent quarterback play since Mark Brunell was there.

A lot of the players butted heads with Coughlin because Coughlin is a disciplinarian (which they needed badly) and the players wanted free reign to do whatever they wanted. The players won out.

They need to fire Dave Caldwell and Doug Marrone. I think they will both be gone before the draft next year.

Being a childish diva has consequences, especially for a RB

Is minshew their quarterback for the future..... probably not but damn he’s entertaining
I do not think they should draft a qb this coming year. Use the high pick and trade down for more picks.

I believe the correct way to rebuild, is build the o-line first before your qb. If you establish the o-line before your qb, your qb won’t be out there getting destroyed and injured

By invoking Trent's name, you realize you are only strengthening his argument, right?
