Buccaneers' Updated RB Depth Chart After Leonard Fournette Contract

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers just added another offensive playmaker.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFC South team signed former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette to a one-year deal. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noted Fournette will receive $2 million in base salary and incentives that can make the deal worth $3.5 million.

The LSU product wasted no time making his presence felt at the NFL level by rushing for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns in his rookie season in 2017.

It appeared as if he would be a franchise cornerstone for the Jaguars for years to come, but he fell off in 2018 with 439 rushing yards in eight games.
