Leonard Fournette files contract grievance, per report

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette has officially started proceedings to initiate a grievance to challenge the Jaguars voiding the remaining guarantees on his rookie contract, according to a report by Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.

The Jaguars confirmed that they voided the remaining guarantees on his contract a few weeks ago after it was initially reported, which effectively meant that the team could move on from Fournette if they wanted to with minimal financial penalty. The basis for the voiding was due to Fournette’s one-game suspension following his ejection against the Buffalo Bills for fighting.
