Is there any benefit to cut a player rather than trading for a 7th rounder?

He'll pass through and signed at a much lower price.

washington..........chi town?

I can’t see the redskins having any interest.

4.1 million reasons

it was a 5th year option

Jaguars waived RB Leonard Fournette.
Fournette was in the final year of his contract with Jacksonville and had a difficult relationship with the organization, so this was always possible. Fournette, a heavily used back who received 666 carries with the Jaguars over three seasons after being taken with the No. 4 overall pick in 2017, will certainly land with another team in the coming days. The Bears, who recently lost David Montgomery to a groin injury that could keep him out for the early part of the season, are a prime candidate to pursue Fournette. The Jaguars save over $4.1 million against t
cap

I don't believe any team is looking for a starting running back 2 weeks before the season starts they had all offseason and a draft to figure that out. Without knowing their cap situation I would say the bucs would be the team if I were them to go after Leonard Fournette.

Correct and Fournette would help round it out.

I disagree. Ap the bruiser, mikissic 3rd down, Antonio and love are promising, Peyton barber is capable and really only great thing I really remember about fornette is him calling out one of the Steelers his rookie year. Hasn’t been that great since

.... ap is ancient , mckissic is “ok” as a receiver and if your young runners aren’t beating out a cast off and a very aging runner, then u got issues, of
Course imho

Who?

The RB position used to be one of the most prized positions in football. Now... not so much. Certainly an important position but no near as sexy as it used to be.

 

[Dude]

Wow! Belichick will grab him like a fish swimming in calm waters. No brainer.

 

[RobBase]

This happens because the players contract is too high for his current production. It’s why he was cut and why he was not able to be traded - even for a 7th.

Can the contract be voided and new deal negotiated?

I believe that’s the deal. The Jags are on the hook for the guaranteed money only.

Any new team that enters into negotiations with him is working on a new prove it deal (prob 1 year).

If I’m wrong someone please correct me.

The Football Team, dude
