Leonard Fournette rumors: Patriots and Bears the favorites to land former Jaguars RB at BetOnline

At least one sports book believes the Patriots could be adding a bruiser to their running back room.

Leonard Fournette was waived by the Jaguars on Monday, and at BetOnline, the Patriots and Bears are the favorites to land him with 11/4 odds. They’re followed by the Buccaneers (7/2), Washington Football Team (4/1) and Houston Texans (8/1).

The fourth overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Fournette is owed a cap hit of $4.17 million in the final year of his rookie deal. The LSU product hit the 1000-yard mark twice during his three-year stint in Jacksonville, but there were also locker room issues behind the scenes.
