    Bucs to release Leonard Fournette

    Report- Bucs to release Leonard Fournette - ProFootballTalk

    Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Buccaneers plan to release Fournette once the new league year starts on March 15. Fournette has $2 million of his 2023 salary guaranteed, so the team will wait until then in order to have it hit the 2023 cap rather than the current one.

      True enough for now.

      Should we sign him ...... or is he past contributing?

            Fournette confirmed to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that the Bucs are releasing him.

            “I asked after the season to be [released], and they respected my wishes,” Fournette told Stroud.

            “So no bad blood.”

            Fournette, 28, said Tom Brady’s retirement weighed heavily in his decision. The Bucs, who are $56 million over the salary cap, are expected to begin a rebuild next season.

            Fournette said he will look for a team that has a chance to win it all.

            “Winning is everything,” Fournette said. “That’s all. And in my last three years here, that’s all we’ve done. But since my guy [Brady] left — that’s why I came — so my time here was up.”

            The Bucs will save $3.5 million on the cap with his release.

                What kind of number do you see him getting.

                I'd bet he's not that much anymore.

                  I don't think he'll be expensive, but he's also been really average. Just under 4 ypc over his three years in Tampa isn't very good considering your age 25-27 seasons should be prime years as a RB. I don't see him improving as he gets older. I would pass.

                    He seemed pretty sluggish the few times that I got to see him.

                        For vet min and some incentives I'd be interested. He can get the tough yards but beyond that he catches 4 balls a game out of the backfield. He's a chain mover.

                          If we could have the LF from the Jags, I’d be all over it.

                            That LF would cost too much unfortunately.

                              Dont want him at this point in his career, but my last memory of him was him running over Edmunds in OT a few years ago.
