GM: Jaguars 'Going To Go Forward' With Leonard Fournette

May 6, 2020 11:03 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars didn't pick up Leonard Fournette's fifth-year option, but they still count on him being a big part of their offense in 2020.

Jacksonville shopped the running back for more than a month without receiving any serious trade offers.

"There were just some minor discussions with that but nothing substantial throughout the draft or prior to the draft," Dave Caldwell said. "I think the mindset is that we're going to go forward with Leonard on the team. I had a good talk with him on Friday. I know Coach [Doug] Marrone has had some discussion with him.

"He seems to be in great shape and mental frame of mind, and we feel that he'll have a great season this year."

Fournette, 25, is coming off his best professional season. He rushed for a career-high 1,152 yards and totaling 1,674 yards from scrimmage. He led the Jaguars with 76 receptions, but he scored only three touchdowns.
