 You know and Leonard for that like I said he can catch the ball in the back. He's he's a freak of nature Okay, I don't think people realize how good Leonard for that is he got stuck in Jacksonville with Blake Bortles who couldn't throw the football and Keep going mate. I'm loving this Yeah, what's up you guys what is going on and welcome back to another video today's video is not going to be a reaction But I am going to be looking up my favorite running back in the NFL If you didn't know his name is Leonard for net. He's been in the league for three or four years and You know I was felt quite quite blessed quite lucky to have you know found out about the NFL and the Jacksonville Jaguars at the time that he was a rookie and So I've basically followed his whole entire career so far and I'll continue to do that, but there is one thing that's that's Being talked about at the moment that that is worrying me. I'm not gonna lie And if it wasn't worrying me, I wouldn't be making this video. What I've heard guys is that Jacksonville Jaguars Have decided to shop around trading Leonard for net. I want to know why He is only being paid four million a season. I believe he is due His fifth year salary payment of four million dollars This year, so the Jacksonville Jaguars are looking at trading him I guess so that they don't have to pay that and that they can invest that salary cap into other players I really have no idea. I feel like the Jacksonville Jaguars have gone from a team with legit superstars to if they get rid of Leonard for net I mean people think Leonard for net's not a superstar running back I do but it's probably probably because I'm biased, but you know whether he is considered one or not Jacksonville Jaguars have got rid of Jalen Ramsey, which I really don't give a fuck about They've got rid of Nick foals, which was their 20-odd million dollar Recruit who played three games and they never even gave him another chance Kaleigh Campbell Mate this guy brings a team together. He is huge. He's monstrous But I guess if you can't afford to pay him you can't afford to pay him So that's three three star players that have gone and now they're talking about getting rid of Leonard for net I mean, there may be others I don't know Leonard for net's got to be the player that I've followed the most from the Jags How could people say he's not a legit running back? He had a thousand yards his first season He had injury problems a second So we got like 500 yards last season you had another thousand yard season plus over 500 receiving yards So look if that's not a quality player, then I don't know what is but just hoping That these rumblings of Leonard for net leaving the Jags are untrue But what I will say is that after watching the leg and following it for a couple years if these rumblings do start to happen They usually do come true So I'm assuming Leonard for net is gonna leave the Jags Which team he goes to is up in the air and that's what we're gonna find out today. So I'm gonna type in Leonard for net and see what comes up How Leonard for net ended up on the block Possible destination 16 minutes long. Hmm. What do we got here Stephen A Smith and Leonard for net What could adding cam Newton mean for the Jaguars? Yes. That was another story that was coming out possibly cam Newton could be traded To the Jacksville Jaguars, but they've got Gardner Minshew now. Are they planning on starting Gardner Minshew? Is he gonna be the franchise quarterback? Is he good enough? I believe that Gardner Minshew With what he's had to go through to get where he is. I believe he has the mindset I believe he has the maturity to be a fantastic quarterback. So we'll see what happens there, but Leonard for net, okay I'm gonna go for the top video. We've got two hours to talk about everything happening in the national football league And you never know where the news is gonna come from and there's a story that has been the result Chris have a sequence of events and let's take you back to last week. It'd be cool. I Haven't seen any of this. Thank you very much guys. I have no idea who either of you are But let's continue with a tweet from Leonard for net advocating for the gym. I've heard about a tweet What is this tweet show me? Jaguars to add cam Newton, of course Gardner Minshew the second well then Leonard for net was on ESPN and he Elaborated on his position that cam Newton should become a Jaguar cam went to the Super Bowl for net said he's a great guy I've been knowing cam for a minute now Which I think means I'm not nearly hipping up for this. I think it means I've known him for a long time It's no disrespect to Gardner Minshew. I'm just trying to get in the best position as a team as we can to win That's all that was about just friendly Competition because that brings out the best in people so okay it's a little disrespectful to Gardner Minshew your current quarterback that you'd be shopping around his position to other people but I get what you're saying and if a player you know if a player Like cam Newton is is possibly gonna come to the Jags and Gardner Minshew standing there thinking well What the fuck am I gonna do that's only gonna bring out you know the best in him? I believe Because I don't at this point. I don't think any other team would be interested in trading for Gardner Minshew So basically you're gonna have cam Newton and Gardner Minshew both Start in caliber quarterbacks. I don't feel like you're gonna be able to put Gardner Minshew behind another You know 20 million dollar player like they did with Nick Foles. I mean I Just don't feel like the the Jacksonville public will go with that and I don't feel like it's a good I Feel like it might be a bit of a waste of money spending 20 million dollars a year on a quarterback when you've already got one I mean, I don't know. Let's continue Gardner Minshew, but obviously when you're arguing for cam Newton to join the team Chris You don't want cam Newton to be the backup. No, so that is disrespectful to Gardner Minshew It is disrespectful. I don't know and shoot you want cam Newton to be the starter if you were Gardner Minshew How would you react to that message from? Good question. Good question. Well, you know the guy like Gardner Minshew Who first off we know has a great guy is liked by the Jacksonville fan base and the organization obviously so they're going with them But also if I put myself in Gardner Minshew's shoes, I also sit there and go, huh, I haven't done anything yet I don't have a lot of pelts on my horse, right yet to sit here and go I'm the man. I'm the starting quarterback of a franchise. Nobody should come in here and challenge me You shall not pass. No, I mean, I don't think he's earned that right yet How are you to just feel like he's warm and cozy now can he sit there and go man? I wish Leonard Burnett had a little more, you know confidence in me and You know, what would it be nice guy? Yeah, sure, but I think Gardner Minshew and we've been around him now, right? I think he gets it. I mean, there's a guy like cam Newton on out on the street right now who won an MVP Yeah, man. He won an MVP. He's been to a Super Bowl You know, you have to have respect you have to the people disrespecting cam Newton right now. It doesn't Really make a whole lot of sense For a long long time. So this is not personal if I'm Gardner Minshew I'm kind of like, ah, this is kind of messed up. You've said this and made it public I don't like that aspect of it because now you start to get those rumors going and always Leonard Burnett unhappy But I think all in all Gardner Minshew will be able to grow. Okay. We haven't even broached the subject of Leonard for net being traded away Is he thinking that this Jags team just isn't gonna win a championship? Is that his opinion? You know what I mean with all these other players that have left the team That's what it's all about, isn't it? If you it's Super Bowl or nothing every single season at Super Bowl or nothing So what team has the best chance of winning a Super Bowl with Leonard for net in it? I have no idea But it's exciting Situation and and be able to handle like a professional. I don't think he'll be personally hurt by it Mike So that came up in the middle of a week you wait until four net is behind a really really decent O-line This could be the year. Oh, I'm excited now Chris and I kind of want him to leave now Do I don't I don't know Emily Doug Marone The Jaguars coach was on lunch talk live with Mike Tarrico on Friday and Marrone had a chance to talk about his starting running back and using Publicly about the possibility of bringing in Cam Newton to supplant Gardner-Minshew Here's Marrone from Friday. This should be interesting You know with players you're always gonna have friends like hey It's you know this guy should come with that guy should come You know you try to talk to the players about talking about the team and doing with stuff and keeping a single message But then a lot of time you're gonna have to be able to communicate that locker. I mean that's a big thing with me I mean we all talk about hey well man and everything and you know when you're in a locker You say hey listen I said this because I really think that this is you know that's for the team And if you can't say this is what that's for the team, you know Then you're gonna have issues and then things can you know can spiral to a point where you can't get in Okay, so I've just seen that they the Jaguars have the ninth and the 20th pick in this year's draft which is pretty damn good Depending on what position they're trying to draft for But I'd say if they do trade Lenin for net away, they may try and draft a running back and There's only one running back that really took my fancy and that was Jonathan Taylor was it Jonathan Taylor? I'd have to look that up But in saying that would a running back like well, yeah night night to pick you'd still be able to pick up the top running back possibly Depends And I like that very pragmatic approach by Doug Maron You have to make sure that these two guys for net and men shoot work it out And if Maron needs to help facilitate that so be it But then came the next development in this story that is now lingered for several days a report from ESPN on Saturday I confirmed this yesterday the Jaguars are looking to trade Leonard for net who had Chris 1674 yards from scrimmage last year his best season yet in the NFL for a team that didn't really have a great passing game because Minshew was getting up to speed after Nick falls got injured and then Minshew got kind of benched when falls was healthy and then falls Got benched again from Minshew Meanwhile for net was the most steady and productive member of the offense They're looking to trade him. He's got a guaranteed salary of 4.1 million this year. I guess I'm not Shocked by this but at the same time Yeah, I had a pretty solid year right yeah, and I think at the core here's a here's what a source told me yesterday And I heard this from multiple different people who understand the dynamics Let it for net and this is the quote I'm gonna go ahead and say it is a pain in the ass and there's only so much you can take when dealing with a pain in The ass especially in a position like running back where there are plenty of other guys out there that you can find Maybe in the draft this week who can come in and get it done So four point one million when you consider what the Broncos are paying Melvin Gordon eight million what the Cardinals are paying Kenyon Drake eight point four eight million four point one million for 2020 with an option for twenty twenty one at eight point four eight million if you pick it up by May 3rd That's a bargain for a guy who has been a high-end producer at least based upon what we saw from him last year Well, he's a really good football player and you said that and you're right I mean, he's he's probably right outside the top five running backs in football when you really get into that conversation Now, you know added to the fact you mentioned it the draft is deep at running back We know that there's gonna be a lot of guys going the second third and fourth rounds You could certainly fill holes that way, right? We know the Jacksonville Jaguars Even though Leonard Fournet like you're saying Mike is the best probably offensive player on their football team I don't think there's any denying that right now They got some other good ones to like DJ shark and some of the receivers But I think he's probably the most consistent proven commodity on their offense and they're in a rebuild mode So they're stuck in okay. Yes, it'd be nice to have a good tailback, but we can get others We're in rebuild run mode right now Obviously, but what they've been doing yonakin got way of being on the trade market everything there Then Leonard Fournet getting towards the end of his rookie contract, which you're right It's very favorable right now, but also the balance is oh, we might be able to strike and get the most for him Right now with teams may be going over in the draft evaluation process We need these two or three positions really bad and I also need running back Man, I can make a trade right now and get the running back and then maybe I can use those draft assets to use the other position Me die I have This is only one team. This is one team of 32 One player of one team of 32, you know far out man These guys these guys must have whiteboards from floor to ceiling with with names and sticky notes and all sorts of shit, you know Getting down for nitty gritty of it, but that's the fun part There's that aspect Mike and then last thing because I'm sorry for the long answer But Leonard Fournet has proven to be a little bit of a pain in the butt there There's no doubt whether it was running on the first day. Here we go. Yeah. Okay, so AJ Boya as well. So they've traded Ramsey Campbell Boya in folds in the last year So the buffalo and getting involved in a fight across the field There's been a few other instances plus he runs violently and he's had a little injury history And I'm sure all those things are the reasons we're hearing about him on the trademarker right now Yeah, and not to mention publicly lobbying for Cam Newton to join the Jaguars at a time when it's obvious Oh, the team is shifting its focus to Gardner Menchu as the starting quarterback Yeah, that was that was weird either he he really just doesn't give a shit anymore And he doesn't care what anyone thinks and he's like fuck it. I'm gonna get traded anyway or He firmly believes that that is their best chance of winning a Super Bowl this year So I'm gonna try and lobby to get this cam Newton on our team, you know, I mean he's up for he's up for grabs So why not? I don't know you can look at it both ways Back and hoping to give him a full and fair opportunity to be the guy now look I whenever we talk about the Jaguars now the word rebuild comes up I don't think that they view it that way in part because the owner shot cotton Is it going to be patient with Doug Marrone and Dave Caldwell? This is the old change the tire on a moving car Retailing effort and and it's cultural as much as anything Chris getting rid of guys that really don't buy in getting rid of guys That may be inclined to be a pain in the butt and also I can't help but wonder is the offense going to look different this year With Jay Gruden there as the coordinator. Are they gonna open it up? Are they gonna throw it around more do they not need a between the tackles violent downhill runner that could maybe fit better Somewhere else so all those things considered the Jaguars trying to get what they can for net And if they can't get anything they really like look There's still on the back burner a grievance over whether or not his guarantees were avoided when he was suspended During that bills game or after that bills game for his actions during the bills game back in 2018 That could heat up again They could cut him and end up owing him nothing for this year if they can't trade him But I'd like to think at 4.1 million they can find somebody to take on a guy who had 1674 rushing yards and put him on a team where you will have the coaching and the veteran leadership To get him to not be a pain in the butt and Chris Here's your opportunity to call me crazy. We have been talking about the Kansas City Chiefs Needing an upgrade at the tailback position They were looking into Levy on Bell last year according to Bell when the trade deadline was approaching Think about Leonard Ferdinand as a guy who could be the balance to that Chiefs passing offense as the guy who can Contribute in the passing game. He had over 500 receiving yards last year Even though he is viewed as a downhill violent physical runner. Do you? have any Positivity in your being when I suggest Leonard Ferdinand as a possible Kansas City Chief Where he would have Andy Reed who would maybe know how to press the buttons and get the most out of it and more importantly a guy who Grew up in the same neighborhood as Leonard Ferdinand New Orleans and who went to the same college as Leonard Ferdinand entire Right you to basically get him pointed in the right direction and get him to stop being a pain in the butt and get the Most out of his physical attributes. What do you say a hundred and fifty percent? Totally crazy. How cool would that be? Imagine seeing four net suit up in the Kansas City Chiefs colors. Wow and Really give them an opportunity to I Guess have a threat on the ground so that their passing game, which is so amazing as it is Can just be even better Okay, first off. I mean, I think you're totally crazy Attired looking crazy on Monday. That's just out of there. You're welcome But I think all your points are real, you know, I do and first off if he is he you know, listen I don't look at letter the thing about Tyron Matthew. That's big same school Tyron Matthew seems to be on another level as far as maturity goes. I don't know if that's because of the chiefs environment or what but Yeah, to have them both on the same team again, I feel like if Leonard Ferdinand did fuck up I think the guy like Tyron Matthew would pull him into line same age same school Same will to win. Let's go This guy's a real pain in the butt. No, I don't look at him that way. I don't either I feel like he's a bit of a larrick and I feel like he's got a personality which a lot of players don't and He knows his worth. He knows as a decent player He's trucked many a man in his life and well, that's just how he is Emotional and was a part of a team where they let the players emotions kind of run the team a little bit They're a Jacksonville for a little while and I think he got out of hand now You want to check somebody before they wreck somebody? Yeah You go to a team that just won the Super Bowl and they realize oh wow They don't really need me here right just like we talk about with New England all the time That'll set somebody straight plus players are usually excited to go to a team like that because they're going wow I've been in Jacksonville. We had one good season. Let's put four net and Antonio Brown on the same team and I'm dying to win some football games do any of that the Tyrone Matthew Connection there like very real that would certainly encourage me every one Kansas City and thinking about that You know and Leonard for that like I said he can catch the ball in the back. He's he's a freak of nature Okay, I don't think people realize how good Leonard for that is He got stuck in Jacksonville with Blake Bortles who couldn't throw the football and keep going mate I'm loving this people put nine people at the line of scrimmage for the first three years of his career All within four feet of the line of scrimmage because they just said no Blake Bortles isn't gonna beat us So it's never looked as sexy and as good statistically and highlight wise Because they've never had a pass game to worry about and he still had two out of three seasons with over a thousand Rushing yards. He's been there as a starting running back and it's hard to thrive there So I do understand that thought Mike, and I don't think you're totally crazy Other teams that I've considered before I move on let me say this Damian Williams. I had a very good performance in the Super Bowl He had 498 rushing yards last year for the cheese now I know Andy Reed doesn't have a reputation as being a guy who Establishes the run and sticks with the run and runs and runs and runs But under 500 yards for your leading rusher not encouraging and they put those birds and They pay the Sean McCoy three million dollars last year and what did they get out of him for three million? You can get a lender for never 4.1. That seems like a good trade But I try I went through all the divisions every team and I tried to be broad and who I thought should be interested or could be interested In front of how about the Steelers right wouldn't he be isn't that one of those moves where the moment they got him? We would say Well, we should have been thinking of the Steelers all along My it's the first name that came in this first team that came to my head with the Pittsburgh Steelers I mean when I read the articles on PFT and some of this going down I went just before we continue just before we continue. I did put up a post on My Instagram page with the bleacher report gridiron Post that said which team should trade for Leningford now. I put that up on my page And we actually have a fair few comments, so I'm gonna read them right now before we continue The thing that jogged my memory is because he mentioned the Steelers, but we've got Floridian boy 904 says I think the Jaguars are trying to tank their season for Trevor Lawrence This is the only explanation I can come up with for them wanting to trade for net Well, I can come up with a fair few others But anyway, now someone's replied to that saying it seems that for net wants out though Which I don't know if I agree with either Stealer access says the Steelers baby DJ 2 3 Dallas would be a good fit as a 1-2 combo Fucking how imagine that? Kevin Keynes subcave. Hmm. Miami might be a good landing spot. Many of our coaches work with him when he played in New England Miami I could see him in those colors Wing TB 1g North football the Saints Interesting chase Riviera 55 he would look clean purple though That he would Matt Mayer Steelers Monderman 47 Rams Alexander the Great Seahawks Wit 137 as a lifelong self-hating Jaguars fan. I hate seeing this even being discussed I knew it was smart to get a Fred Taylor jersey a couple months ago Who's Fred Taylor? Chris Jackson 25 Jags have just lost about every star player on their roster at this point might as well get him out of there To I'm starting to think they enjoy being last in the division Hashtag go Colts. Okay, so we've got a mixed bag of opinions there. I Couldn't say which one I'm gonna side with So let's continue They need that type of runner there, especially hey, it's you know James Connor. I like I was just gonna say James Connor I like James Connor, too. I don't think he's a starting superstar type tailback I think he's a great guy to have as your backup But also with big Ben coming off of the elbow injury and getting up there in years You don't want for net to come into a team where they get you know They're gonna be run heavy you want for net to come in as a quality running back when you already have a great passing Offense be able to give that option to not have to go to the pass all the time You know you do three passes in a row then you go for a run then you do another two passes go for two runs Go for another three path. It's like mix it up and Give him the space that he needs to wind up get up to that top speed in the league He's had the top speed in the NFL for two seasons What is it 24 miles an hour or something it's like a locomotive train when he gets up to top speed I fucking love it. I really do Big Ben, you know, I think he's underrated as hell when the all-time lures of this sport He's a great player, but he is that age and I would think that would be something they would entertain Now the big thing is Pittsburgh, you know They've traded some assets away to get players like make if it's Patrick Do they have the the ass in Devon Bush last year in the first round? Do they have the assets that they want to trade more of those assets away to get a running back where? Hey as you and I both know it only might be a three or four year gig Before his career is over or certainly on the don't you dare say that? Fuck off, man. Don't say that. Get out of here with your negativity. Seriously downhill side of things It was Jerome Betis who got started in LA with the Rams before he was traded to the Steelers We don't think of him as a ram. We think of him as a stealer and that's exactly what happened with for that Who has a rookie what? Interesting, you know, here's at this point in his career Where if he does trade now on a four-year deal and and and rides out those four years wherever he goes He's most likely gonna be considered a player from that team and the Jaguars the time at the Jaguars will be forgotten But I'll tell you what whatever happens. It will never be forgotten for me Because the Jackson Jackson will Jaguars hold a massive part in my heart and in my journey into American football A lot of people hear that and they say why and they assume it's because the Jackson will Jaguars have an affiliation with London or with England Playing their games there, but absolutely not. I've never been to London. I've never been to England I've never been to the UK. It's not because of that It is because the Jackson will Jaguars reached out to me two years ago when I first saw Leonard Fournette and They decided to follow me on Instagram and they've been, you know, great supporters of me and my content my channel ever since and They have an open invitation to me to go and check out the facilities when and if I do get over there So that is the reason why I back the Jackson will Jaguars because they back to me Alright guys Houston we have a problem and the problem is Not my haircut, which I've just noticed again Fuck I forgot about it. Actually. Um, look the problem is I have 20 seconds left of footage Remaining on my camera and I feel like I've probably taken enough of your time already guys So I want to wish you all a fantastic day. We are in lockdown here in New Zealand We've got three more weeks hopefully until we can you know, semi start to go back to normal and You know, all I can say is I Hope you're all doing as well as possible out there I literally have five seconds to go Leonard Fournette wherever he goes. He's my favorite player and he most probably always will be Peace out guys. Have a great day
