Saw a report on NFL Network that said Fournette could he a fit for Seattle. I like him enough to explore a trade and think Penny would be involved as part of the deal. Only thing I don't like is having to pay him a big contract after this year.
Thoughts?
Fournette has missed 12 games in 3 years, and averages 4.0 yards per carry in his career. Very average numbers, but he was drafted high so he's paid accordingly.
I may be in the minority here, but I actually like Rashaad Penny. Yeah I get that he hasn't been that durable either, but he's a lot more explosive than Fournette. He's averaged 5.3 yards per carry in his career. In fact I like Penny better than Carson (Carson averages 4.5 ypa behind the same o-line).
I certainly don't want to trade for an overpaid average RB, and I'd be livid if we traded a better and cheaper player for him.
