it pertains to running back Leonard Fournette, he’s hoping things have been
smoothed over. As it pertains to quarterback Blake Bortles, he’s hoping the
skids have been greased for an imminent exit.After speaking on Fournette’s
situation, Lewis was asked by TMZ (via the ) about Bortles’ future.?That’s a
different situation,? Lewis said. ?When Blake was there
Womens Gardner Minshew Jersey , he obviously did the best he could. I have a lot of respect for Blake and that’s a decision that’s going have to be made
upstairs.?Even though he’s from California, Lewis has obviously spent enough
time in the South to drop a “bless his heart” on someone from time to time, a
phrase that sounds nice but usually carries a much sharper meaning.He was more
hopeful about the running back patching things back up, after Fournette was
suspended and the team took the extreme step of voiding his guarantees. He’s

good place” as it relates to his relationship with the team, but he would be in
a better place if his guaranteed money weren’t under attack by the
organization.Per a league source, Fournette has initiated a formal challenge to
the team’s voiding of more than $7 million in remaining salary under his rookie
contract.An arbitrator ultimately will decide whether the team will be able to
convert more than $2.9 million in 2019 and more than $4.1 million in 2020 from
fully guaranteed to not guaranteed at all. As previously explained, the language
of the contract supports an argument that a suspension arising from on-field
misconduct doesn’t void the guarantees.The Jaguars officially voided the
guarantees based on the one-game suspension imposed on Fournette after he left
the sideline and joined a fight during a game at Buffalo. The news came on the
same day that executive V.P. of football operations Tom Coughlin publicly
chastised Fournette and running back T.J. Yeldon for yucking it up during a
season-ending loss to the Texans.
