If other backs are performing better in this offense, what's the point in keeping the highest paid back on the roster if he will only have limited use?

His salary will give us that much more ammo to use next off season to aggressively fill roster holes.

This. There's a lot of hand wringing over this move. From an outsider perspective, yes, it was a wasted top 10 pick. That said, Fournette was clearly a Coughlin draft pick. This was a strong move by Dave. He should have done this a year earlier with Bortles. Admitting one's mistakes and promptly moving on is a sign of a good GM and a good man.
