LF gets $4.167 million if claimed. Murray's guarantee is $3.15M with cap hit of $4M


So about the exact same amount of we were to cut Murray.

A very meaningless, inefficient 1600 yards and 70 receptions. He had 341 touches though, the durability should be commended

quote:

And everyone is fine paying Kamara 12 million a year and he never once hit that benchmark




LF hit 1,674 on 341 touches

Kamara hit 1,554 on 201 touches and 1,592 on 275 touches

Fournette 800 career touches 3,640 yards 19 TDs
Kamara 728 touches 4476 yards 37 TDs

Congrats you played yourself

Fournette went unclaimed.

No one claimed Fournette off the waiver wire. In the last year of his rookie contract, so pretty affordable for any team. Looking like he is interested in the Rams. Wishful thinking, but would love to see him in the black & gold.

Supposedly Patriots also interested.

He's trying to get that $4M from Jacksonville apparently.

"When asked about any potential interest in free agent Leonard Fournette, Bears coach Matt Nagy said the team likes where it’s at with their current group of running backs."

It’s done, no one claimed him

He is now a free agent

On Leonard Fournette after he went unclaimed on waivers: I'm told wherever he lands won't be a money decision. 2020 is going to be about scheme fit and the coaching staff that leans into a power running game. Opportunity will be important, but skill fit will be absolutely vital.


Bill, Patriots, Chiefs reportedly have “checked in”

Guy on twitter last night said that LF wouldn't start over CEH. The amount of people that keep acting like LF is a bust and not good at football are insane.

Fournette is thunder, he needs a lightning partner to save the wear and tear on his body. Guy has absorbed a lot of punishment in a relatively short time.

Not a fan of this move but he would do great in Tampa.

No one is advocating Buga over Kamara. He would be an upgrade over Murray as the “thunder” back though.

Also could you have imagined Taysom running the triple option with LF as the dive and AK the pitch?
