i read that the jags couldn't even get a 7th round pick for fournette.

needless to say they didn't pick up his 5th year option.

They also signed Chris Thompson who will probably be their 3rd down back

This thread isn't nearly as entertaining as the "trade for Josh Gordon" threads of yesteryear. Almost makes me miss Champ.

Jaguars decline option for RB Leonard Fournette
Michael Baca

The handwriting is on the wall for Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette.
Sources tell NFL Network's Tom Pelissero that the Jaguars are declining the fifth-year option on Fournette, meaning the 2020 season is a contract year for the three-year veteran.

Fournette, who was selected No. 4 overall by the Jaguars in the 2017 NFL Draft, has been the subject of trade rumors this offseason, and Friday's news indicates his time in Jacksonville is ticking.
In three seasons as a Jaguar, Fournette has rushed for 2,631 yards and 17 touchdowns while also accumulating over 1,000 yards through the air. An injury-plagued sophomore season halted what was a promising start for Fournette coming off a stellar rookie campaign.
Even with questions of his work ethic and commitment to the Jaguars after two years, Fournette had a productive year in 2019 and proved otherwise. Yet, with the Jaguars rethinking their roster and trading away the likes of Jalen Ramsey, A.J. Bouye, Nick Folesand Calais Campbell within the past year, Fournette's exit has been inevitable.
In related news on Friday, the team added pass-catching RB Chris Thompson to their backfield.

With his release, could this be back in play for the Rams? He'd be the thumper back to compliment Akers

 

[FaulkSF]

He may go to NE or Buffalo where they can use a bruiser and they have cap space

 

[badnews]

unless he just really really wants to be in LA, I don't see how.

 

[dieterbrock]

I cant see him getting anything more than a 1 year prove it deal, with his injury risk. If Ramsey could influence, he'd be a great pickup IMO. I'd drop Brown and throw that money at LF

It's too bad we can't afford him.

What do you think he'll see contract wise? I think with his injury/attitude concerns, he's looking at a 1 year prove it deal.
On second thought, seeing what Melvin Gordon got, ugh....

 

[den-the-coach]

If he ends up in the NFC West with the 49ers or Seahawks I will be upset.

 

[FrantikRam]

I wouldn't count the Rams out:

Fowler - top 5 pick by Jaguars, goes to Rams
Bortles - top 5 pick by Jaguars, goes to Rams
Ramsey - top 5 pick by Jaguars, goes to Rams
Fournette - top 5 pick by Jaguars, ?

A malcontent hurt bag.. Never

Being malcontent in Jacksonville is normal.

 

[225RAMSFAN]

Let's go get him

Calling Redskins sign him.
