#Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette said on @FirstTake today that the team should sign Cam Newton: "Cam went to the Super Bowl. He's a great guy… And like I told some people, it's no disrespect to Gardner Minshew. I'm just trying to get in the best position as we can to win."

It’s unclear whether Fournette’s comments about Cam Newton have anything to do with him getting traded but many on the Internet believe that’s the case
