$21 million deal
Running back Leonard Fournette, who spent Monday visiting with the New England Patriots, is re-signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a three-year, $21 million deal, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday. The deal includes $11 million guaranteed. (ESPN)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Fournette re-established his ability as a pass-catcher last season (69 receptions) which vaulted him to a RB4 finish in PPR leagues. He ended up missing some time at the end of the season with a hamstring injury. Working as the lead back in the Bucs offense should do wonders for his fantasy value and will likely be among the top 12 running backs taken in redraft leagues this summer.
