NFL stunner: Jags waive Fournette after failing to trade him
AP ^ | August 31, 2020 | Mark Long

The Jaguars moved another step closer to purging Tom Coughlin's tumultuous tenure in Jacksonville.

The team waived running back Leonard Fournette on Monday, a stunning decision many outsiders view as the latest in a series of head scratchers that could help the franchise tank the season and get the No. 1 draft pick.

“If that’s the case, then the realization is if that happens, then I’m not going to be here," coach Doug Marrone said. "At the end of the day, if I don’t win enough games or do enough with this team, I don’t foresee me still being employed. I’m doing everything I can to make sure we have the best team to make sure we win football games. That’s as simple as I can be on it.”

This guy was the #4 pick in the 2017 NFL draft. When will teams learn not to waster first round picks on RBs.

Or pay them a lot of money, like the Cowboys with Ezekiel Elliott.

You would be surprised and quite disappointed to know how many conservatives care about the NFL.

The Jags proved that management was a collection of idiots when they didn’t sign Tebow. They might have lost with him, they certainly managed to lose without him, but he would have sold tickets and turned on TVs in the region.

But I thought the long term plan for theJags was to do poorly enough to justify the move to London.

It doesn’t matter at all. If they were smart they would waive the whole team.

Yes then they wont have to be so “oppressed” by the white man. They can move to another better country they don’t hate so much, we’ll see how that works out.

I must be doing something right, because I’ve never heard of Leonard Fournette and I’ve never heard of Doug Moron ... and I only know Tom Coughlin because he coached the Giants to two Super Bowl wins years ago when I gave half a sh!t about them.

The NFL is nothing but an extention of Antifa-BLM. Why else would organizations like the Green Bay Packers now be engaged in direct political activity?

Haves and have-nots. This guy is a have. Talent and money. Have-nots are the marginal players who are lucky to make their first half million as rookies. No preseason.
