It’s not a shock to see so many NFL analysts across the football landscape talk about Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette as one of the bigger surprises in the league this season.
It is a bit of a shock, at least to myself and possibly some other local writers who cover the team, that the discussion of Fournette’s future in town hasn’t become a topic of conversation of late. With one more season of a rookie deal in place, will management think about either picking up his fifth-year option prior to the 2020 season or will contract talks become an issue between the player and the team?
