    I've heard of Leonard Fournette. He must be good.

    On a shit team with a shit QB.

    One of the most talented runners in the league.

    Put him on a decent team and he’s a 1500 yard runner.

    Jags aren’t trading him for a low round pick.

    Absolutely not. Fournette has always been overrated and he is not durable. No thank you.

    If the Jets trade down, it needs to be for more picks. Fournette is good, but equally good RBs will be available in FA.

    I'd rather play Franco Harris or Matt Snell before trading for Fournette

    I wanted Fournette for the Jets when I realized they weren't going to draft a QB, thinking that he would make things easier for Petty or Hack, but he hasn't produced the way I thought he would. How much is due to him, and how much due to the CS, game planning, player around him I don't know, but he's already shown a tendency towards injury, not surprising given his style of running. I wouldn't give up any assets for him - there are better, and/or cheaper options available, not to mention Bell.

    I'm gonna disagree with you, bud. I'm not saying he's garbage but he's also not top of the league talented but hey why argue we'll find out how good he is next year (hopefully not on this team)

    Interesting here is Fournette getting his guarantees voided, they may just release him. Depending on how bad his rep has taken a hit here, he could come cheap as a FA...

    A few articles say they may include him in a trade to get a QB. I mean if the Jets could get 2-3 picks plus Fournette, maybe you listen. His value couldn't be lower though at this point.

    Fournette would be a great RB for the Jets and would be a difference maker. I am just not sure what the Jets would plan to do for the other 12 games that Fournette is out for.

    Not cool dude

    Justin has not exactly done much and Coughlin is pissed.

    He could probably be had for a song.

    Rumor is he's a lazy malcontent. He just got tongue lashed, and deservedly so, by Tom Coughlin for behaving unprofessionally at the Jags game on Sunday. He like to eat, shades of Mo Wilk, and he apparently ate himself out of playing shape while purportedly rehabbing a hamstring injury this season. I'd rather have Bell.

    Well Fournette really is fat so he would fit right in with the Jets

    I must be misreading your post.
    Are you suggesting trading Darnold for 2-3 picks plus Fournette ?

    Lol no.

    They may trade up to grab a QB in the draft. So they trade up to 3 for example to draft say Haskins...Jets get their first rounder, two 2nd's and Fournette, just as an idea.

    Now that's a no brainier. I'm sure some would complain but we can always widen the bench for another fat ass along with a couple of seconds
