by Staff Reporter

May 17, 201719 Comments

Former LSU and current NFL Rookie running back Leonard Fournette has signed a four-year deal, fully guaranteed contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who selected him No. 4 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Details of the contract were not disclosed. Per NOLA.com:

quote:
Financial terms were not disclosed but with the NFL salary slotting system, it will likely be a little more than that of Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott, last year's No. 4 draft pick. Elliott got a four-year, $24,956,341 contract, which included $16,350,066 signing bonus, $24,506,340 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $6,239,085.

Must be a little more than Saban offered him?

Good for him. He's earned it.

Spankum•107 months

man, that makes me very happy...years of hard work finally paying off for him!

Gumbo1•107 months

Congrats to LF7! I hope the Jaguars put an offensive line and receivers that can block and also a catching threat so as not to put him running against a brick wall every play.

baobabtiger•107 months

He's probably doing very well in endorsements as well.

themunch•107 months

SamuelClemens•107 months

And the amount is?

BILLFISHER22•107 months

A lot !!!!

JohnnyRebel•107 months

It's an undisclosed number #. Says it was most likely a little more than Zeke's contract. So upwards of $25 mill over four years guaranteed.

ptra•107 months

I read in the Jacksonville paper $27 million.

Lexman1•107 months

Hey! Leonard! Can ya float me a loan? Lol Seriously, you've earned it so far. Now go out and tear it up GOAT! Congratulations! Always a Tiger!

olgoi khorkhoi•107 months

How do the signing bonuses work? Elliot got 24m over 4 years plus another 16m up front bonus?

GeauxTigers0107•107 months

Lol...not quite. If the total deal is for 24 mill and 16 of that is up front signing bonus then the remaining 8mill will be paid over the 4 years of the contract. At least thats my understanding of it...but I could easily be wrong.

RFK•107 months

After taxes 6 mil a year isn't that much.

comalking•107 months

Guess that's what Payless is paying you huh?

LSUtigers111•107 months

Lol...yeah. Also no state income tax in Florida, so that doesn't hurt!
