This Jaguars-Seahawks Trade for Leonard Fournette Could Actually Work

The Jacksonville Jaguars' offseason has thus far indicated the team is preparing to undergo a full-blown rebuild. So far, the Jags have traded quarterback Nick Foles, defensive end Calais Campbell, and cornerback AJ Bouye.

Additionally, all reports indicate that Jacksonville will unload pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue at some point in the near future. Therefore, you'd have to think that the franchise will plan to shop running back Leonard Fournette, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract.

If that becomes the case, the Seattle Seahawks really have no choice to pursue a trade for the 25-year-old bruising back.

The current market for RBs isn't favorable, so that should make things much easier for the Seahawks, who don't have a ton of assets at their disposal.

Fournette is fresh off logging 1,674 yards from scrimmage last season, but Seattle might be able to acquire him for its third-round draft pick (No. 101 overall) in 2020. The Seahawks do have two second-rounders, but you can bet that general manager John Schneider will look to hold onto both. That could see the Jaguars ask for an additional sixth-round pick.

If Jacksonville is willing, than a third- and sixth-round selection in this year's draft should satisfy Seattle.

The Seahawks aren't necessarily desperate for RB help -- Chris Carson is a solid No.1 option -- but they can't afford to turn to a washed-up Marshawn Lynch if injuries were to strike again. Trading for Fournette, who might just be entering his prime, makes all the sense in the world.
