Jaguars GM: 'Going to Go Forward' with Leonard Fournette After Trade Rumors

Leonard Fournette will start the 2020 season right where he left off in 2019—as the lead tailback in the Jacksonville Jaguars offense.

Until now that's seemed rather unlikely as ESPN'sAdam Schefter reported the team was looking to trade the 2017 first-round pick, and Schefter reported the team declined the fifth-year option on his rookie deal.

Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell confirmed the team will stick with Fournette during an appearance on the Pro Football Talk podcast.

"There were just some minor discussions with that but nothing substantial throughout the draft or prior to the draft," Caldwell said, per PFT's Mike Florio.
