He cleared waivers, if my recollection is accurate, before he signed with Tampon.
But I agree nonetheless that his contract would've been significantly higher.
The point was merely for the battering ram size RB we signed vs how big Fournette is. Hopefully this new kid is worth it.

Totally agree on the need of the type of player, just not that player...

Yes, he cleared waivers, but Tampa was where he appeared to want to go. The Brady factor.
