My brother and I were talking about Fred possibly not being thrilled about his workload being cut now and here's a nightmare scenario. Let's say he gets traded at the end of the season and he winds up as a New York Jet? It's possible this can happen because the Jets don't have a solid RB. He's one of my favorite new school Bills players and it would be cold blooded if they let him go.
Fred Jackson-Do you think he's happy being technically a #2 RB?

If it leads to more wins I dont think he'll care
He got his new deal, he's a team guy, and he might have realized at his age a lighter workload will help him stay healthy and extend his career

Above all else, FJ is a team guy, and if the team is winning and he is contributing I can't see him being upset about much.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: Fred Jackson-Do you think he's happy being technically a #2 RB?
The guy is a 32 year old undrafted FA running back who was bouncing around bush league football teams a couple of years ago.
I think he's happy he has a contract and a job. And he knew what the deal was with CJ when he signed the contract.
I can't imagine he's disgruntled, especially when he's still getting plenty of carries.
And as incompetent as this FO is, I can't see them doing something as ****ing stupid as trading a starting-caliber RB to a division opponent when we have the worst run D in the league.

And he's not being traded. His contract is untradeable.

Originally posted by HAMMER View PostI think Fred is smart enough to see the writing on the wall. He got the contract bump he wanted, he will be just fine.
If anything, this could prolong Jackson's career, he will be 32 soon and RB's decline fast at this age, at times this season Jackson has shown signs of slowing down, if he hadn't been injured and had time off, the toll of 10 games might have caught up to him by now, there's no telling that for sure, but very few backs have been productive at his age. It also seems that he and Spiller have a good relationship and there's no animosity between them, so Spiller getting the nod, shouldn't be a problem. I also believe that there will not be that big of a difference in the amount of touches gets, Jackson's averaging around 10 carries a game, I don't think it will be much less. We may just see Spiller getting the ball more than he has, hopefully meaning that they'll use the two RB's more.
