I think Armstead and Ozigbo are ready to step up. 

I think they're clearing dead weight for next year for Gardner or Trevor to make a run.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't we paying Fournette $4M this year - even after cutting him?  If we're paying the $$ no matter what, why not keep him - even in a reduced roll.....

It will be arbitrated. The  Jags previously waived all his guaranteed monies as allowed by contract because of his suspension. As of right now I do not believe they owe him squat.

I don't remember there being a ruling on the Jags voiding his guaranteed money for this season. Right now the Jags are saying they owe him nothing and he says the team owes him his $4-5 million no matter what. If it was already decided, it does make sense to keep him as they could have to pay him no matter what. The only reason to cut him would be for the locker room.
