Report: Jaguars have had trade discussions regarding former LSU star RB Leonard Fournette
Ever since the Jacksonville Jaguars took former LSU RB Leonard Fournette with the No. 4 overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, there have been tensions between player and team.
Those tensions have seemingly come to a head prior to the 2020 NFL Draft, as Fournette is reportedly on the trading block.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jaguars have already had trade discussions involving Fournette:
