I forgot who but someone itt said he has no shot to win. If he thinks he has a good shot to win he might not play at all this year. I don't believe he has the right to double dip. So why would he play for less and risk injury. If he doesn't have good odds of winning it he'll sign somewhere in the next few weeks.
I'm guessing he doesn't want to play for far less, which is what I think he would have to do now if he wants to play. Is that the way you see it?
To summarize, it's complicated. The Jags filed a grievance last year wanting to withhold any bonus money and eliminate any offset language in his contract. That case was not heard or ruled on yet. So the issue now is that teams don't know if they can sign him for the league minimum or not (because the Jags would have to pick up the tab for the first $4.1 million of a new contract for this season). Under normal offset language, the Jags would have to pay whatever the difference is to that $4.1 million. But if teams aren't sure about that, LF would certainly want more than a low dollar / league minimum deal for this season.
Man he might not be playing this year if he thinks he can win that grievance. Sucks for all his owners but it is what it is.
Sounds to me like he has a decent chance to win his case. I've seen arbitrators side with the player before and probably for less.

If the Saints want to win a title this year, Kamara for the extra $12MM without question.
Curious where you got this from. I remember that being true when Zeke was holding out, but that was mostly because Vegas assumed the deal was getting done when they set the original odds.
It's been like that for a while. When Bell was holding out it didn't change Pitts o/u win totals either. RB don't really matter I guess.
You’re right, bro. Fournette in the Saints offense would be a glorious fit of square peg and round hole.
Ok but 16m vs 2m. Kamara isn't getting it from the Saints. They can add a RB for a fraction of the price. Good fit for Fournette because he'll get lots if scoring opportunities not great for the Saints but cost does come into play.
They have Murray for that role. Why would the Saints want Fournette to replace Kamara? That doesn't make sense to me.
Wow, let it go man. I know this is way off topic but your incessant posting on Fournette's volume warrants it.
I don’t know which is worse, me commenting on his volume multiple times or the multiple posts about me posting about his volume. I had dropped it man. Move on.
Ummm, I'll take the elite RB for the extra dough over the over rated malcontent, 8 days a week.
But the fit is so bad. Why not just roll with Murray? Better fit for what they do and already there. Fournette would just muddy the water regardless of cost. It still doesn't make sense to me.
They don't have it though. Sure they can move some money around but real hard to get under the cap this year with that size Kamara contract and they'd be tight the next couple years as well.
The Bears, Bucs, and Washington makes the most sense. Followed by Pittsburgh. As a McFarland owner I hope it isn’t Pittsburgh.
At this point I don’t care who NE signs because I don’t think they will be very good. I used to care for years.
Not a great landing spot, but if CEH got hurt, then the internet would blow up.
I don't think that would be a good spot. You never know who they are going to give the carries too.
This is where maybe you and I would differ. I agree it's not a great spot for touches but I feel he would do very well with the touches he did get in that situation.
Read my mind. This would be absolutely hilarious but a great fit considering CEH’s short comings
Yep, great offense so I see your point. But I don’t think LF is the type of RB KC likes.
Yeah i have no idea how true the rumor is I just envision all the space Mahomes/Reek/Kelce would create for Fournette (and his 10 carries/gm) plus all the GL carries. He could certainly do worse.
