NFL stunner: Jags waive Fournette after failing to trade him
1 draft pick. Thats as simple as I can be on it.Coughlin wanted Fournette as the centerpiece of his old-school, run-first philosophy. The Jaguars spent months trying to trade Fournette, the fourth overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft who's coming off a career year. Fournette has 2,631 yards rushing, 1,009 yards receiving and 19 touchdowns in three seasons since he was now-fired personnel chief Coughlins first draft pick since returning to Jacksonville. Marrone insisted Fournette did nothing to prompt his release, instead pointing to his fit in coordinator Jay Gruden's new scheme.
