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:
Jaguars have had trade discussions with other teams regarding RB Leonard Fournette, league sources tell ESPN. Fournette is due $4.16 million in base salary in 2020. It's a situation that bears watching as this week's draft approaches.

Could the Jags move Fournette to land more picks in this year’s draft? We’ll find out in the coming days. Even if he’s not traded before the draft, he could still be moved before the start of the season.
In 3 seasons, Fournette has run for 2,631 yards and 17 touchdowns.
