If Dixon and Brown have impressive training camps, what are the odds Fred gets cut outright? Thoughts?

Re: Fred Jackson
None. The Bills are more interested in Freddy than they are in Cj. In every chance Marrone got last year he praised Jackson. He's a workhorse who gets tough yards. He's the type of player coaches dream of. Also if he's let go… NE will pick him up in a second.
What has CJ done to keep his job?Last edited by The King; 05-12-2014, 02:59 PM.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Fred Jackson
Anything's possible I suppose, but this is his last year as a Bill regardless.

Re: Fred Jackson
I could see Spiller traded, and gone before Jackson.Comment

Re: Fred Jackson
no chance would they ever cut Jackson... plenty of teams would give up a pick for him. having said that, I can see the bill s moving Spiller for a Second round or maybe even a first round pick.Comment

Re: Fred Jackson
A small but real chance. Freddie has been under appreciated by every OC and coach he's had as a Bill. I don't trust these guys to see, that despite being the oldest RB in the NFL, he's still the best on our roster.Comment

Re: Fred Jackson
I don't think he's over rated. The skills are there, the work ethic and focus are not.

Re: Fred Jackson
??? We got a 4th for Marshawn Lynch and you expect a 2nd, possibly a 1st for CJ? A 3rd would probably be the highest offer...Originally posted by Jaybird View PostComment

Re: Fred Jackson
Why do people want to get rid of the few decent players the Bills have? Is it just because there is a shiny unproven player on the roster with no history of performance?Comment

Re: Fred Jackson
Zero.
I like the Brown trade but Fred retires on his terms. He's still our horse until proven otherwise and Spiller may be in his final year .. while Fred sticks around longer.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for witComment

Re: Fred Jackson
It wouldn't surprise me if either Spiller or Jackson was moved before the start of the season for likely a 2015 draft pick.
I'd guess that Spiller holds more trade value at this time, so I'd expect him to be moved more than Jackson but who knows.
I don't see any way or reason they head into the season with 4 running backs nor do I see them releasing Dixon so quickly.Comment

Re: Fred Jackson
Chances are pretty good he will be let go if he is outperformed significantly.Comment

Re: Fred Jackson
Spiller can be replaced. Fred Jackson cannot be replaced. There is a layer of intangible you don't **** with in Jackson. If he shows up healthy and ready to go another season he's not going anywhere but up on the wall.Comment
