LeGarrette Blount has undeniable talent, but no team thinks he’s worth the trouble.
Blount went unclaimed on waivers today, a day after the Steelers sent him packing after he headed to the locker room early on Monday night in Tennessee. Blount is now a free agent.
There have been stories about Blount being a problem from a character and work ethic perspective for years, so it’s no surprise that no team wanted him. He just isn’t worth the headaches.
Still, Blount is a running back who has averaged 4.6 yards a carry over his five-year NFL career and also has experience as a kickoff returner, so it’s possible that some team will give him a shot later in the season. If a team fighting for a playoff spot suffers an injury at running back late in the season Blount may get another chance.
If not, Blount may have already burned his last chance.
