I don't buy too much into the locker room cancer angle.  There are players to take their place in the starting lineup. They either play or get left behind and it doesn't have to be some doom and gloom scenario where these two turn a host of young players against the Jags staff and F.O.

 It's not like this is the first time a player trade didn't work out and an athlete played another season in his original location.  Doesn't have to be a big deal, people.

Sensible take from one of the less whiny posters.

Hey, do you guys remember there was this diva on an underachieving team, who once called a radio show with an exclusive.  He had decided that he wanted to be traded, went behind the team's back, and called up a friend to air his grievances on national radio.

His name was Kobe Bryant, and it was in 2007.  Instead, they talked him out of it, and it worked out really really well for both team and player.  Let's see what happens this week.  My guess is there's still time to work it out.  As for Fournette, hopefully he'll act like a professional.
