Leonard Fournette is determined to continue his NFL career and is actively seeking to sign with a team before the 2024 season kicks off.
Despite being released by the Buffalo Bills in January and playing in just two games last season, Fournette remains optimistic and is in peak physical condition, according to his agents, Ari Nissim and Pat Capra.

Fournette's playoff experience and versatility as both a runner and pass-catcher make him an attractive option for a team with championship aspirations like the Cowboys.
Known as "Playoff Lenny" for his postseason heroics with the Buccaneers, Fournette could bring veteran leadership and depth to the Cowboys' roster.
As the start of the season approaches, Fournette's camp remains hopeful that a team like Dallas will recognize his value and bring him on board.
