H2o Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Yikes. I know some people on here were clamoring for him. This isn't a good look. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/07/18/report-leonard-fournette-weighs-almost-260-pounds-bucs-coaches-arent-happy/ Quote “Coaches were not happy, and that’s an understatement, when he didn’t participate in the OTAs, but then he shows up at the mandatory minicamp weighing damn near 260,” Stroud said. “And that’s not a good sign for a guy that you just spent a three-year contract on.” 1 Quote
julian Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Maybe he’s been working out with Josh, according to Poyer on the Tyreek Hill podcast Allen is currently 260 LBs 1 Quote
Rigby Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 That's ridiculous to show up that out of shape. Shows he doesn't care about team or hell even himself for that matter. 1 1 Quote
machine gun kelly Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Our Karlos Williams. Cut him now to send a message. You guys know the Bucs are my second team only for my sons as they were born and raised here. there is now way this guy loses 30 lbs. I’m a month. I did it in wrestling once, but I went to the extreme as a teenager. In retrospect I was incredibly unhealthy losing that much weight that fast. place him on the practice squad and he can do an in season tryout when he hits 225lbs. 3 Quote

I described him as probably a bucket of wings shy of 250 now but 260? Maybe that's when fully padded. 1 Quote

They already paid him a $5 million bonus & they guaranteed $12 million of his contract. According to the link, cutting him gets the team a $9 million dead cap hit. They're not cutting him & then turning around & signing him to the practice squad because they immediately get dinged an additional $5.33 million on the cap over what they have keeping him & working him into shape on the 53 man roster. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/tampa-bay-buccaneers/leonard-fournette-21745/ On Karlos Williams, you beat me to it. I was going to post a joke that he trained with Karlos in the offseason. Quote

He's a young guy living his best life, and it's probably fine. I just hope that it doesn't affect his speed and athleticism. I also know that taking good care of one's body and nutrition increases the likelihood of a long career. There's a reason Tom Brady is still playing so well at age 44 and Ben Roethlisberger looked so awful at age 39. 4 Quote
BuffaloBill Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 This is an example of why it is important that the front office looks at character and a team locker room weeds out this type of behavior. Quote

I don’t disagree, I’m just thinking Allen is the kind of athlete the NFL has never seen at QB, it’s hard to imagine Allen with all the work he’s done ever letting his body becoming a hindrance and not an advantage. 2 Quote

I hope you're right. While it's clear that he works super hard at his craft -- mechanics, throwing motion, etc -- I've never really heard him mention nutrition or diet. I HAVE heard him talk about crushing wings and drinking Labatt's. Like I said -- probably not too big a deal right now, but over time, a good diet and intelligent nutrition choices will preserve his athleticism and lengthen his career. 1 Quote

As long as his mobility is there, I don't care if he comes to play with a 1990s QB gut and dad bod. I think a little extra padding is good for overall durability. Allen has said the heavier he gets the fast he has gotten. I'm thinking at about 295 he could break a 4.0 40 yard dash if my math is correct. 1 3 Quote
Don Otreply Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Good, turmoil in opposing teams organizations is just right for us, Go Bills!!! Quote

I was going to post a joke that he trained with Karlos in the offseason. This is the biggest thing. After his run in Jax and last couple of seasons with Tampa, he finally gets some "financial stability" so to speak then immediately reverts back to poor lifestyle decisions. Quote
