Fournette has previously stated how important it is to play for a Super Bowl contender.

 

“Winning is everything,” Fournette said in an interview with the Tampa Bay Times. “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.”

 

Fournette began last season as the RB1 in Tampa Bay's offense, as it was once again Super Bowl-or-bust for Tom Brady and Co. But the Bucs managed to finish with the league's worst rushing offense by a mile, averaging the fewest rushing yards per game (76.9), scoring the fewest rushing touchdowns (five) and fewest average yards per carry (3.4).

 

 

He was supposed to be starter for Bucs last year but only started 9 games being replaced by Rachaad White who is starter for Bucs this year.


Could his effort be part of reason no Superbowl last year?

 

Hope he is activated for 3 games not on put on 53 immediately.

It makes sense to me.  It's not just the fact that Damien Harris is hurt.  It's the fact that he tends to get hurt.  I was looking at the running back combine results and was impressed that Fournette ran a 4.51 at 240 lbs.  I think he played lighter than that in recent years and might be a bit faster.  There are a number of running backs from that draft class who are still productive in the league.  Why not Fournette?

This guy can be a real difference maker for us in power running, pass protection and pass catching out of the backfield. I think you make him active right away, he should have fresh legs. Also he’s younger than I thought he was. Big upgrade from Murray and if you don’t trust Cook in pass protection then this guy can help a lot. I really like this move I hope we use him. I hope he plays against the Bengals. That’s a team that pushed us around physically…this dude is physical.

Was Shaun Alexander not available??

 

I dont really get it - but it can't hurt either.  Hopefully we get a couple more puffs out of this cigar butt.


oh good Lord!  He is 28!  Not 38.

I’m wondering if this is the bills game plan rather than giving up draft picks don’t require any compensation

 

 

 

in all seriousness I’d call Gronk to see if he has any interest / is in shape.

 

reasonable chance we sign Suh by tomorrow

 

adding 2 or 3(unlikely) players with SB rings should be a strong message in the locker room

 

bring in Jaylon Johnson or Chase Young via trade and that’s quite something
