The Jacksonville Jaguars waived the running back on Monday. With the season less than two weeks away Leonard Fournette joined a new team in less than a week.

The 2017 NFL draft fourth round pick spent three seasons with the Jaguars. The Jaguars declined to extend his contract and the team tried to trade him which was unsuccessful. In the 2019 season, Fournette had 1,152 rushing yards, 76 passes for 522 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
