Jaguars waive Fournette
Print Edition
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette, the No. 4 pick in the 2017 National Football League draft, was waived by the team on Monday. Head coach Doug Marrone said attempts were made to trade Fournette, who accounted for more than 30 percent of the Jaguars’ yards from scrimmage in 2019, but Jacksonville found no takers. “We couldn’t get anything, a fifth, a sixth, anything. We couldn’t get anything,” Marrone said. The LSU product was drafted four spots ahead of Christian McCaffrey, the eighth pick in 2017 to the Carolina Panthers, but becomes the latest key player ushered out of town by the Jaguars. Since the 2019 trade deadline, Jacksonville has traded or released Jalen Ramsey, AJ Bouye, Calais Campbell, Yannick Ngakoue and Fournette. The team reportedly floated Fournette in trade offers during the 2020 draft, and had nibbles from the Miami Dolphins, among other teams. Fournette, 25, must clear waivers to become a free agent, but reportedly has interest in joining the Saints — he was born in New Orleans — and the defending champions Kansas City Chiefs.
