He's under contract. What he wants doesn't matter. If he wants to start and they don't release him - then he's got to beat out Fournette to start.

Considering his benching, and his $5M dead money savings next year if they move on, I suspect he's gone.  I know, I know.  5th rounder and all.  It is what it is.  He clearly didn't get anyone excited enough to get more snaps, and was flat out a healthy scratch so they could get a look at a guy plucked of Denver's practice squad.  I think the signs are pretty clear there.

I do think, barring some significant trade offer for Fournette the team can't refuse, he's the starter next year.  

I think you might actually see the team low ball Grant to keep him around since he's an injury concern now.  With a new offensive coordinator next year, he might actually benefit.

I think they really like Yeldon and what he offers in the offense when everything is clicking.  I think they probably make an effort to keep him around, but my guess is that some other team is going to outbid them for his services.

It's almost a given at this point that the team will come back next year with David Williams on the roster, if for no other reason, for depth.
