The Jaguars have engaged in trade discussions involving Leonard Fournette, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.Fournette has one season remaining on his rookie contract, though that deal can run through 2021 via the fifth-year option. 
The Jaguars have already traded corners Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye over the last year, but they might not be done with their overhaul. Defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has also requested a trade, so the Jaguars’ roster to open the 2020 campaign could be drastically different from their ’19 version.
Fournette is coming off of his best season to date. The former No. 4 overall pick set new career highs with 1,152 rushing yards and an average of 4.3 yards per tote. It was a solid answer to critics who wondered if he’d ever realize his potential. In the previous year, Fournette limped his way a 3.3 yards per carry average in eight games.
The 25-year-old could fetch some nice draft capital in return, though the Jaguars already have an impressive stockpile. With 12 selections as of this writing, the Jaguars are tied with the Patriots and Vikings for the second-highest total of picks in the league. Only the Dolphins, with 14 picks, have more.
There’s talent in this year’s running back class – headlined Georgia product D’Andre Swift – but none of this year’s incoming RBs are slam dunks for the first round. Teams like the Buccaneers, Falcons, and Bills could theoretically consider Fournette, allowing them to focus on other areas of need in the early stages. The Chiefs are another team with RBs on the radar, but they’re already pressed for cap room and Fournette’s $4.17MM deal wouldn’t fit.
Seattle
My thoughts too. Trade them Carson a round 2 pick this year and round 3 next year for Leonard and ngakoue
That package wouldn’t be enough for just Ngakoue let alone Fournette as well
Seattle fan,
I like what’s going on in Seattle but your but you’d been inside too much lately if you think he will help he’s broke!
I feel he’d be almost marshawn 2.0
The package is enough when you break down the fact Carson can get paid minimum for the next year and this year composed to Leonard at 7 mil
Shoot they can take penny too. I was mad when they picked him that year and he still hasn’t shown anything to say he was worth that pick.
Maybe a second and third this year and a first next year
I would rather have Carson
HILARIOUS
trench ant,
You trench dwelling ant . Love to know what your smoking he’s hurt too much and is an ass. Seattle doesn’t need him! He can’t rot in Jacksonville he’s broke!
Carson and penny are either hurt or fumble the ball. That’s to me why Carson fell to the 7th. Penny was an overdraft and we must need RB help if we had to ask marshawn to come out of retirement yeah we had injuries but Carson was only hit the first 4 weeks
Saints should go after him. Backfield with him as the power back and kamara as the receiver change of pace would be best in the league
I wish!
Conditional 6th?
you saying he going to get a 6th. he only 24 and has over 2000 yards and 17 tds will get more than a 6th. at least a 3rd
Wouldn’t say at least a 3rd id say at most a 3rd more likely a 4th
well i was just pointing out at his age and stats he worth way more than a 6th. that low balling your self. if he doesnt get at least a 3rd/4th jags are just beating them self up
He’s worth a high third round pick this year or a future second round pick
Wrong
funny one min he calling for cam now jags looking to trade him.
I think that just shows they’re committed to minshew at qb and players that have a problem with that they’re fine moving on from
I can’t imagine they’re listening to offers because he voiced public support for Cam….that’s just downright silly, Jacksonville will never be a winner if that’s the case
I don’t think that’s the only reason this relationship hasn’t been pretty for quite some time now. I think it may have just been the last straw fournette hasn’t been quiet on social media not just the cam tho g
That’s fair…guess I just didn’t see it as huge outrage…they have Minshew and Dobbs at QB, unless they are drafting one, adding Cam to that mix wouldn’t hurt if they are trying to win
Not saying that Fournette is going to put up a Hall of Fame career, but this reminds me a lot of The Bus going to the Steelers.
Would be nice, definitely need a solid back. If they can get him for a 3 or 4 I’d be happy with that
Agreed, the Steelers could use him and he is Bus-like. Funny, there are so many guys the Steelers could use. This guy, Shady, Clay Matthews, Jameis, but in the end, their history of being hard heads will likely mean they get no one
Gotta feel bad for Jag fans. This team was just a couple players away from being a powerhouse a couple of years ago and then Tom Coughlin destroyed everything.
One player away…bortles was the only reason they didn’t make the super bowl. Imo bills fans are going to be saying the same thing about josh Allen in a couple years their defense is legit and have the right pieces on offense I think he’s going to be what’s holding them back
how is allen the problem? who he have on offense. he help lead a offense with his best WR being josh brown.
Boooo. Get a new schtick beas
Yannick and Fournette to the Dolphins for #39 and a 6th
Fournette alone is worth way more
Trading Fournette alone will never get a high second (39) and a sixth. He’s had one decent year so far and that track record doesn’t get you much in a trade. RB’s generally have a short lifespan and at a $4M salary, isn’t exactly cheap.
How is 4M expensive in comparison? I am pretty sure his cap hit is in the 8s but looking at who makes more, it makes sense. I’d rather pay him 8 instead of DJ from Houston 11M or Bell 15M.
Zeke and Henry make more and that’s it. Guys around him are Saquon, Kenyan drake, McCaffery, gordon and Gurley. The “best” guys below him are later picks which makes sense.
I agree, he won’t fetch a high second but he shouldn’t be worth a late pick. It does nothing for them but shed salary. And it also likely means another huge dead cap hit and they’re already paying almost 34M in dead cap. If they were to trade Fournette, they’d have to get at least a 3rd to make it worth it. Otherwise they’re better off holding on to him and letting him expire after the season.
No, he isn’t.
Ngakoue is worth the 2nd and likely more. And while trading a RB is a crap shoot, the option of trading him for a fourth and keeping him seems fairly simple.
I think they should be able to net a 3rd round pick for him considering he’s got 2 years left on his deal
I agree. There’s no chance he goes for less than a 3rd. If they get enough teams in the running, they might squeeze a 2nd rounder out if they send a 5th or 6th back in return. No less than a 3rd for sure, though.
It would require Restructuring Goff’s contract but this feels like a good fit for the Rams.
Jebadiaspringfield,
He’s injury prone Rams window is over!
As a Pats fan I would love some sort of Fournette for Michel and draft pick comp….Jacksonville would gain another year of control with Michel
Mc,
What’s next saying you’ve been a fan since Bledsoe. Pats fans are wankers! Brady lovers, outta shape , never played the game, cheaters .
Yes, I am bummed about Brady leaving
Bills gotta at least kick the tires on this one. Especially if they are already targeting a RB in the 3rd round.
Juancrap,
Bills lol he’s injury prone , bills are a pretender 4 straight super bowls how many W! 0 my man!
Why do you make a habit of saying completely nonsensical stupid garbage? The schtick is old. Try adulting and having a real sports conversation.
Down to do Atlanta,
Never talked to you was not talking to you so STFU. Try sticking your nose in the sand and battles you have a shot at hasbin!
Jags are letting legit talent walk out the door every season…kinda like every other bad team. How about you build around talented players while you have them rather than shipping them out season after season…just a thought
Lot of bitterness among players thanks to Tom Coughlin so it’s not surprising many of them want to go elsewhere.
Bravestool,
Jags suck he’s injury prone and well you know the rest!
Too bad the Bears have limited cap space. They need a bell cow like Fournette and their last good one (Matt Forte) was also a Louisiana product.
Getting rid of the RB who went to Philly was a huge mistake.
Tampa… they need a true RB1. With Brady there, obviously they’re in a win now mode.
Rams would be interesting but they don’t have the cap or picks to get him.
Yannick and Leonard for one of Seattle’s 2nd round picks this year, a 4th next year, and Carson, maybe throw in a safety. Seattle is going to gain draft capital by trading their first round again anyway. They can pick up a workhorse RB in the draft and have a healthy Penny. They have the safety depth. This will fill a couple holes and have proven NFL capable players
I agree with you except carson. I think they would have to trade or cut Britt. Carson and fournette and backfield would be crazy good. If Seattle gave 64th this year, 4th next year and 6th this year. Penny has the torn ACL and carson had the broken hip last year. IF big IF they are all healthy well have solid depth.
Definite big IF. Im hoping Penny gets his chance to shine. I think he can be better than Carson, but who knows after the injuries.
There is a chance just not very likely.
Fournette and Ngakore to the Dolphins for this years #26 pick in the first round, this years #153 in the fifth round and a 5th next year.
Dolphins were going to draft a RB most likely with their third first round pick anyways. So they give up 2 late picks and get themselves a solid defender aswell.
They also have the cap space to take on board the two salaries and also give extensions
Rs,
Both sides of the football what kinda bs is that from the back row of your couch. You likely play badminton and tennis lol
Yeah cause you’re a genius
I know tons more about sports then you ever will
Bragging about having no life ?
burtgummer,
Is that a reference to having no teeth.
Jacksonville wants McDougal and I believe a 2nd rounder for Ngakoue so they will want a little more to add Fournette to the deal. The injuries that Penny and Carson sustained last year are not good for young running backs. Penny will never be the same and as far as Carson we will see. But with no deal in place for Ngakoue I wouldn’t bite and before any of this gets done Wilson will have to restructure.
Or release Britt. 8.5 million if my memory is right.
Please people … Yannick will fetch a 1rst round pick and then some. Look at his numbers and upside such as age. I am sure the Jags won’t let him go for anything less than a first and maybe a fourth. Fournette will probably go for a fourth. He has been a disappointment in Jacksonville and displays an attitude at times.
