Per Mark Long of the Associated Press (h/t News 4 Jax), the Jaguars voided the remaining guaranteed money in Fournette’s rookie contract stemming from his one-game suspension after getting into a fight with Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson on Nov. 25. 

Jacksonville drafted Fournette with the fourth overall pick in 2017. The 23-year-old had a solid rookie season with 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns in 13 games to help the Jaguars win the AFC South and reach AFC Championship Game.
