The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a lot of decisions to make this offseason. 25 players are heading towards free agency, including star Leonard Fournette. Although nothing is official, the running back's most recent Instagram post appears to be a farewell. Take a look for yourself.
The caption reads, “They could never say I didn't give it my all every time I suited up, didn't really have time to reflect on the season but I'm thankful appreciate my teammates, coaches, family, fans for everything #PlayoffLenny.”
This could just be a gratitude post and Fournette could just be reminiscing on the season he had. The 27-year-old rushed 180 times for 812 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 regular-season games he played in. He also had 69 receptions for 454 yards and two receiving touchdowns. Not to mention, “Playoff Lenny” picked up another 107 offensive yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' Divisional Round loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
However, many players make posts like this when they know their time with their team is up. Tuesday, the Buccaneers used their franchise tag on wide receiver Chris Godwin. The move left Fournette as one of 25 Buccaneers players left to enter free agency, and it's highly unlikely that all of these players return to Tampa Bay.
If the Buccaneers do not re-sign Fournette before the start of the new league year, he won't be on the market long. Fournette is a top free agency running back and his offensive versatility is highly sought-after this offseason.
