The new NFL year doesn’t officially begin until March 15, but we’re already starting to hear buzz about some players that will be released from their current teams on that date. One such player is Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran running back Leonard Fournette.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero has reported that the Bucs plan to release Fournette, who turned 28 in January. Fournette just finished his third season in Tampa after playing his first three seasons in Jacksonville. He helped the Bucs win Super Bowl LV.
Fournette rushed for 668 yards and three touchdowns in 2022, along with 73 receptions for another 523 yards and three scores. His 3.5 yards per carry was the second-lowest average of his career. He finished with the 12th-most fantasy points among running backs.
