Coughlin and Fournette at odds

It looks like Leonard Fournette’s time in Jacksonville could be over. He has missed multiple games due to injuries and disciplinary reasons, plus when he has been on the field he hasn’t been impressive. Then Coughlin calls him out for acting like a goof on the sidelines. I’d say it’s time to put the bust label on him. All this coming from the guy who talked trash to Zeke on twitter and called him a fat *** and to get on the treadmill. Can’t say I’m not happy.

Rumors of moving on from Ramsey and now they can try to void Fournettes guarantees/get ugly there.

No wonder the Jags are JAGs most years.

Bye Zeke, hello Leonard.

 

[CowboyChris]

heard they are at odds with Ramsey too....maybe we can get him and have Zeke and Ramsey.

Honestly, not too keen of his mouth, but it'd be cool to have both.

Offer them a 2nd for Ramsey

Exactly what I was thinking. If not in DAL keep Ramsey out the East, and Fournette too.

I wonder if Fournette still thinks the NFL is easy? He has not played that well and has a big mouth which is a bad combo.

Fournette is a front runner who doesn't like contact and doesn't have good speed. Glad to see his big mouth get put in his place.

A bust? Way off there. Even if he doesn’t work out in Jacksonville they’ll get a 1 for him.

He’s essentially an entitled version of Trent Richardson at this point. But the Browns got a lot for him, but that doesn’t change that he’s lazy, fat and can’t run the ball. Doesn’t scare any defense.

He had a 1000 yard season last year, they were noticeably better with him on the field and he was pivotal to their afc championship run. He’s way more than Richardson ever was

Richardson had a 950 yard season his rookie year, both were under 4 YPC. Their second year’s are comparable. With Fournette quitting on the team and not taking his hamstring rehab seriously. Plus Jacksonville relied more on Yeldon during their playoff run.

Send him to Philadelphia, I’d accept him with open arms.

Too early to label him a bust

A lot of contracts have voidable clauses with them. He probably had a conduct clause. It doesn't matter. He's 23 and already made 20 million of his 27 million dollar contract. Does anyone think he cares if they took away the guarantee on the remaining two years? He probably wants out.

I read an article yesterday that they're trying to void it for on field action, but that isn't a stipulated reason in his contract.

They're saying it's because of his suspension last month when he ran on to the field and started a fight? Or entered a fight? Whatever he did to get himself a suspension is the reason. Sounds like a conduct clause to me. But like I said before, is he really going to care? Are they going to cut him? They have an 8 million dead cap.

Lol. No they won’t.

Yeah that's what they're filing, but his folks are saying that isn't stipulated in his contract. There are a number of specific reasons to void his guaranteed money spelled out in the contract.
Searched, but couldn't find the article again.
