Jaguars release Leonard Fournette after three seasons with team


I'm assuming a lot of teams have put in claims, but would you if you were Bill?
I say "hell yes" but I'm not up to speed on why the Jags cut him.

No thanks. The Jags tried to trade him but didn't get any interest which makes me believe the guy isn't a good teammate. I think our RB's are gonna light it up this year as the group stands now(barring injury).

Weird not being one of the last two teams in line for the waiver claims.

Never been an issue for Bill.

I think RB will be a strong position as well, but I also think Fournette brings a lot more to the field than Lamar Miller.


Or Sony Michel.

That's not true about Bill. The issue is working with diva's and Bill has been successful because he keeps a short leash. Randy Moss wasn't an issue until he was. Bill actually gave him a pretty long leash, but Moss hit the end and it was "Hello Again Vikings"... Corey Dillon never went back to his diva ways while Albert Haynesworth never stopped and was quickly shipped out.

I think Moss was a different kind of Diva than most. He had an expectation about money and that wasn't met. Wes had the exact same issue but stayed quieter about it. Both deserved more money as each set impressive records.

Yes. And no.
Moss was team friendly and worked his ass off till the end but started wanting more money before his contract was up.
He was 2 years into a 3 year $25 mil contract and then insulted RK.
Cory Dillon was a great Patriot, and Haynesworth couldn't lay off the Dunkin Donuts or anything made by Hostess long enough to get a good workout in.

Well...... these are pretty damn good! Can’t blame Fat Albert too much.

No, no, Hell no!!!!!

 

[Southieinnc]

Fournette, go stand over there with Brown and Bell.....

 

[nefansince75]

No, no, Hell no!!!!!

Like many of these situations, I never trust my own feelings and just say "In Bill we trust".

Agreed but If he can get a 1 year very cheap prove it deal, we can get a comp pick in 2021.

Next Cory Dillon is pretty far off.....

 

[BigKen]

SSSSSSSSHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Don't say anything.................................

he's here....................

don't tell anyone, just ignore him and maybe he'll just go away.................................

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Fournette, go stand over there with Brown and Bell.....

Why not Fournette, go carry the ball for 1200 yards?

I don't think RB is a need

I don't think RB is a need

Any upgrade is an upgrade, but the question is "at what cost?".

At a fundamental level I agree with you. I was disappointed we didn't see more of Harris last year, and am anticipating good things from him this year.

 

[BigKen]

He'd be a great addition inside the red zone. He's like Corey Dillon, big, fast and powerful.

I'd sign him for 1 year at $3-4M and see what he brought to what could be a decent offense

I don't see him as an upgrade either. The Pats are pretty stacked at the position and the RB group is dynamic with varying skill sets. I just do not see a need IMO it's a waste of slot. Why not target a DT or any other position of need O Line perhaps.

This won't happen IMO and it shouldn't

I agree, it won't happen, but between this conversation or picking my ass I chose this conversation.

What Does the Data Say About Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette’s 2019 Production?

Kind of a long article on Fournette. Long story short....The dude sucks balls. No way in hell would I want him on this team.

 

[BigKen]

From the Patriots Wire....................

Ultimately, Fournette makes little sense as a possible target for the Patriots. Sure, the LSU product is talented and coming off a bounce-back season in which he displayed improved pass-catching abilities, but he still isn’t a great fit. Plus, attitude issues have followed Fournette throughout his career, though it’s not as if the Patriots are as strict on such matters as they used to be.

The presumed backfield of Damien Harris, who apparently has starred during training camp, Sony Michel, Rex Burkhead and James White has a chance to be among the best in football. You could argue Fournette, when considering all factors, isn’t an upgrade over any of the aforementioned four players.

Plus, the Patriots need receivers and pass-rushers, not running backs.
