polecatt 403 Posted April 19, 2020 Isn't he pretty much their entire offense? I don't know what kind of draft pick he would get them, maybe a 2nd or 3rd, but I wouldn't think that would be worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lesjroza 70 Posted April 19, 2020 The Seahawks had some organizational success back in the day trading for a beast of a man with an attitude who had underperformed expectations until that point. The Seahawks have a foundational philosophy built on hammering opponents with the run game The Seahawks have question marks next to both of their primary hammers coming off injuries Neither of the injured RBs fit in the quite the way Fournette would anyway Just sayin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I don't get is why the Jags would trade him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBayXXXVII 2,117 Posted April 19, 2020 The compensation will be interesting. Fournette only has 1 year left on his deal, so the team acquiring him will go into the negotiation with the mindset that they're going to have 1 year with a RB who will want to explore free agency and on top of that, have the knowledge that Fournette's assimilation into the offense will have to be expedited because of the lack of a true off-season. My guess is that the Jags won't get much more than a 4th round pick. If they get more than that, the team acquiring him would be a team that is complete and just needs an RB. Kansas City, Baltimore, and New Orleans comes to mind on that front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly means they don't plan to sign him to a 2nd deal. May as well trade him now and get something for him while they continue to "rebuild" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd guess that a team trading for him would be inclined to do it after trading for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, I would think whichever team he ends up on would want to take the 5ht year option. Be it the Jags or some other team. That would be two seasons with a top notch RB. I figure you can't really expect much more than 2 years from a RB any way. The 49ers would be a great fit too. You can't expect their 3-4 RB by committee to work every year.

weepaws 2,460 Posted April 20, 2020 I think more teams want to go more RBBC then one main rb. The game as become so situational. And boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
