ColoradoBills Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Seems to me that Fournette for around $3M is the answer to the RB question. I wanted him BEFORE he went to Tampa. Just turned 28 but his snap count won't be crazy. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/03/16/buccaneers-make-release-of-leonard-fournette-official/ 3 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty much done. Free agent money can be better spent somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Dude just produces. Absent injury concern I’d not be shocked if Beane were interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Fournette makes sense- not sure about 3M, I’m thinking we can get a RB for 2M 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 i think he makes sense. doesnt have the best hands out of the back field, but hes a tougher runner than motor. not sure how he is on pass blocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did I think he was much older? Seems like he’s been around forever! Not quite Frank Gore, but a well worn tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's over 80% catch rate for his career. Seems pretty good to me. 3 minutes ago, Augie said: He just turned 28? Why did I think he was much older? Seems like he’s been around forever! Not quite Frank Gore, but a well worn tire. Bills only need him to spell Cook and use him in some 3rd down situations. I think he is a fit IF he can stay healthy. I sure hope Beane is going to bring him in quick for a workout. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 He just turned 28 - not over the hill just yet. He's the kind of back we need. All depends on the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm kinda done considering chasing big name RB's. Just go out and find an udfa power back that costs you nothing for 4 years. Cook & Hines + udfa. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mij yllek Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 If its 3rd and goal from the 2 yd. line and he gets 3 yds. I'll be more than happy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
