PITTSBURGH (93.7 The FAN) - The NFL Draft has come and gone and all our pipe dreams for the Steelers are gone now as well. Jameis Winston has found his new team and the Jaguars have yet to trade Leonard Fournette.
One the Fournette front, we turned to our NFL Insider John Clayton to find out why the Jaguars were unable to move him.
"Nobody wanted him," Clayton said. "Nobody wanted to pick up the $4.1 million one-year deal knowing that he has had some problems in the locker room on and off the last couple of years."
Another issue according to Clayton is that teams who wanted a running back were willing to go the route of the draft to fill that hole.
"Last year he did well...but people are looking at right now it's like, 'OK, I'd rather take a look at these running backs.' and there was a bunch of running backs that were talented enough hat went in the second and third round that drew more interest. So instead of giving up what would have probably been a sixth round pick, you'd say 'OK, I'd rather take this running back."
And what would it be without a check in on Jameis Winston? Click the audio below to hear John's thoughts on Winston giving up so much money to work under Sean Payton and Drew Brees. John also addresses whether or not he believes the Steelers reached out to Winston at any point this offseason.
