Wow!

[Brand J]

Punter or LB inbound?

[2003Contenders]

Interesting... wonder if he got upset about not being activated for yesterday's game and started making waves?

[T.E.]

Would've liked to see him get a chance in short-yardage situations a few times. Their version of the tush push is predictable as hell (Allen always goes left), and it's clear they've gone to the well one too many times there.

Probably to sign some defensive players.  Pretty sure Fournette isn't happy being on there anyways

[Johnny Hammersticks]

Huh…what?  I guess they have to make room for a punter?

[TheWeatherMan]

Guarantee it’s per his request.  Enjoy playing with the Chiefs.

I have a feeling he wasn't too happy about not being active yesterday

Thought I saw Christian Kirksey at Wegmans this morning.

They couldn't activate him yesterday. They needed Klein up (as was evidenced) and Isabella up given Davis was down.

Or a LB, DB... Lots of injuries on the roster, except at RB

[Logic]

Yeah I'm guessing -- and this is totally a guess, with no evidence whatsoever to back it up -- that Fournette was unhappy and requested his release.

I think he envisioned playing a lot more this season. Once the playoffs hit and he was still inactive, I'm guessing he said "I'd like my release so that I can have a chance to contribute elsewhere". The only problem is that I'm not sure where it is he thinks he's going to contribute at this point.

I thought it odd that Murray was active over Fournette yesterday … probably a culmination of displeasure with his lack of useage and a need to roster another player. As long as Ty Johnson is active, Fournette is not a need. 

[Not at the table Karlos]

He hasn’t really looked that good. 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Making room ...

Murray is already on the 53. As @GunnerBill notes above, we had to elevate a WR and LB yesterday to fill holes. Teams can only elevate two per week.

that stinks. He needed to stay patient. I think there is obvious opportunities here for him down the stretch with injuries and renewed focus on running game. 
 

maybe Baltimore signs him? 

[Warriorspikes51]

really? There wasn't anyone else we could have released?

Ravens signed Dalvin Cook

Interesting. 

 

I wonder if Fournette asked for release and is hoping to catch on with one of the remaining teams?  He spent 3 years with Tampa Bay, so if they indicated they might sign him, he might very well want to go.

 

Plus he may have seen the weather in Buffalo and said "uh-uh"
