Leonard Fournette on the trading block..should Veach bite?

[UChieffyBugger]

A few folks have mentioned this on another thread but I thought it deserved a thread of it's own as media sources, both national and Chiefs associated, have linked the Chiefs to Fournette HERE and HERE

Now, Fournette was obviously a first round pick with tons of hype and potential when he came out and there can be no denying he was sensational in his rookie season HERE where his 1000 yards rushing, 300 yards receiving and 10 TD's helped to guide the Jags to the playoffs where he again showed his class by getting four TD's and 242 yards in the games he played.

The next season as we know Blake Bortals got exposed and the Jags were a mess. He missed half the season due to a ****ling leg injury but still managed to get 400 rushing yards, 185 receiving and six total TD's.

Then came last year HERE and my lord he looked devastating. Yet again he got 1000 yards but this time he notched FIVE HUNDRED receiving yards as well. Way more receiving yards than Damian Williams had last year and more than what Kareem Hunt had in his rookie season.

I think we could probably get him for a modest pick tbh because I think the Jags are gonna try to tank for Lawrence...so probably a 4th rounder for next years draft could do it? Who knows...but a 25 year old talent like this doesn't fall into your lap very often. He'd cost us 4m for this season and then we'd have that fifth year option too. IF he's sensational in those two years then we tag him for another. Three years of Fournette without having to pay major bucks sounds tempting to me as I think he would cause absolute mayhem facing those empty boxes.

16 (including playoffs) and 15 games in two out of three seasons is "injury prone"????...LOL you're a clueless prick

Because:

1) He has the #9 RB cap hit,

2) He's a malcontent,

3) He's injury prone, and

4) He wants a big 2nd contract.

Why is this hard to grasp?

Apparently missing 17 games in 4 seasons is completely normal...

Tyrann missed several before we signed him...so according to you we shouldn't have signed him, right?

HB never missed a single game in college and hasn't missed a single game the last 3 seasons.

Broke ass Fournette has one season his entire football career where he played every game, and that was his freshmen season in college where he didn't even start half the games.

You are so ****ing stupid.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Injury prone RB asking for bank sounds like the last thing the Chiefs want.

Let's look at his whole career, including college.

2014: Fr. year. Time share with 2 other backs. 187 carries. 30 percent of total team rushing attempts. HEALTHY 13/13 games.

2015: So. year. Feature back. 300 carries. 60 percent of total team rushing attempts. HEALTHY 12/12 games.

2016: Jr. Year. Feature back. 129 carries. Missed 5 games with 2 different injuries. 28 percent of total team rushing attempts. INJURED 2x 7/12 games. (and, by the way, was not as effective as other players who subbed for him while out)

2017: Rookie. Feature back. 265 carries. 64 percent of total team rushing attempts. Missed 3/4 of preseason games. Missed 3 games midseason. Mostly Healthy. 16/19 games.

2018: Campaign 2. Feature back. 133 carries. 32 percent of total team rushing attempts. Missed 8 games with 3 separate injuries. INJURED x38/16 games.

2019: Campaign 3. Feature back. 265 carries. 68 percent of total team rushing attempts. Missed 3/4 preseason games. Missed last game of year. HEALTHY. 15/16 games.

So in his six years of non-HS competition, he's been available 80 percent of the time, has missed major parts of two of the five seasons he was a feature back, and missed time with nagging injuries in a third one. He most consistently stayed healthy in his first two years of college, one of which was a rotational situation the second of which featured a carries total he has never matched again (and has never come within 10 percent of again despite having 25 percent more games available to him.

He is definitely oft-injured.

Have to take a shit so haven't read thread first, if the Chiefs should make a play on a HB it should be Phillip Lindsey imo.
