Fully guaranteed contract and no offset language so the Jags cut him, but still have to pay him his $4.1M salary AND he gets to double dip with a new contract with a team that isn’t the Jags. Really couldn’t have worked out much better for Fournette. Edited September 1, 2020 by BarleyNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Claude Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Jags voided the contract. Fournette has filed a grievance to get the money. Edited September 1, 2020 by Billy Claude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 2 minutes ago, Billy Claude said: Jags voided the contract. Four-letter has filed a grievance to get the money. That’s correct. The Jags have little chance to win though. Their claim is that his one game suspension from his fight with Shaq Lawson voided the guarantees in his contract. That isn’t likely to fly. Notably when Fournette won a previous grievance stemming from a fine by the Jags the NFL offices noted that over 25% of league grievances were filed against the Jags. They don’t have a good track record there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Claude Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 It does seem like a stretch to void a contract due to a one game suspension from two seasons ago. I guess the Jags feel their reputation among the players can't get any worse so why not give it a try. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fournette signs a year incentive laden contract, performs well and keeps his nose clean it's going to make UFAs think twice about choosing JAX.

Buffalo Junction Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 11 hours ago, billsfan89 said: I don't think Henry's peak years will last that long given his usage and running style (although they did platoon him his first two years in the league so he isn't that bad on wear and tear.) I think the Titans will likely get 2 more "elite" years out of him and another 1-2 "good" seasons. But at this moment if he keeps up his 2019 production he is such a dynamic back. As far as my top 5 RB's in no particular order McCaffery, Zeke, Saquon, Henry and Chubb. Not sure why you have Aaron Jones so high up, definitely a more second tier back in my opinion. Dude killed it in fantasy with 16TDs and 1500 yards from scrimmage? ?♂️. Kid makes plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because all those top UFA’s have been lining up to sign with the exemplary organization that is the Jacksonville Jaguars. This team is a complete disaster currently and not one former player defends them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
