The tongue-lashing that Jaguars V.P. of football operations Tom Coughlin gave running back Leonard Fournette was just the beginning. The next step involves potentially picking $7.1 million out of his pockets.

According to the Associated Press, the Jaguars have informed Fournette that they have voided the remaining guarantees on his first-round rookie deal. The team acquired the ability to do it after Fournette was suspended for one game earlier this season, after exiting the bench and participating in a fight at Buffalo.


Fournette has the ability to challenge the move, and he’s got 7.1 million reasons to try.

If the void stands, the Jaguars would be able to cut Fournette with no further financial liability, this year or next year. The Jaguars could also try to trade Fournette, since his new team wouldn’t be automatically on the hook for more than $2.9 million in 2019 and more than $4.1 million in 2020.

I love Leonard Fournette, but he can't hold Ingrams jock strap right now,

I like LF, I think he just doesn't like playing for Jacksonville. That being said I would try to keep the two headed monster alive if Ingram is good with not getting the touches and money of a feature back.

I doubt Leonard would like to play in a system like NO anyway. Kamara is too good to just use as a gadget player like we used Reggie Bush.

I dont see how one suspension voids the contract. The players union will be all over this.

I’d make this trade all day long. Love Ingram, but Fournette is better and would get way less wear and tear here and thus less injury issues.

Right now, but Ingram is pushing 30 and it's not like he lit the NFL on fire his first 3-4 years. Also had injury problems almost every year. I love the player Ingram has become, but RB's start to decline around this age for him. I think he has another 2 good years and maybe a couple solid seasons after that, but Fournette could be a top 3 RB in the NFL when in the right organization. The current season doesn't define who he can become. Just like Ingrams first 2-3 seasons didn't define his future

As of right now, Ingram is better that Fournette, but Ingram is 29 and is on his last contract. He will have to take a cut to stay with the Saints.

Do the Saints resign Ingram or go for a younger option with Fournette and Kamara?

So, you think Ingram would put up better stats than LF if he were running behind the Jacksonville OL?

Ingram is a valuable part of the Saints offense, but if you don't think that having Brees lighting up secondaries, and Kamara splitting reps with him isn't a huge advantage over what Fournette is dealing with, I don't know what to tell you.
