He will retire a Bill, which is how it should be. No matter what.

How much $ ?

How much $ ?

He's getting 2.4 mil this season, so it can't be more than that.

Bingo… the Bills have ZERO players outside of their punter over the last 10 years that they can call upon as alumni, or ambassadors. Fred Jackson is that guy for the future. There's going to be a time when the Super Bowl era players need a rest.

Jackson has the back story the work ethic and the respect of everyone.

I thought the same until I saw it was 1 year. Really doesn't mean much for CJ.

Maybe / maybe not, 1 year isn't long.

This is a HUGE year for CJ.

If he has a great year, he will command a big contract.

I would expect the Bills to make him a good offer like they did with Byrd.

If he wants to be the highest paid RB or up there in the Peterson area, he probably leaves.

That's it. This is a big wet kiss bestowed on Fred.

Where would he go? No one pays RB's anymore.

I'd like to see CJ get an extension before the season starts. It's not like he's going to get any cheaper.

Re: Fred Jackson signs 1 year extension...

he can get plenty cheaper. if he keeps getting dinged up and not be a 3 down back, it will be hard for him to demand big money. if the bills extend him now, it would be crazy. you can find more talent in the draft in any round for a cheaper cost than resigning a rb who hasn't lived up to expectations.

that being said, i'm not anti-CJ. i just think he's a utility player that has been misused most of his time here. he needs the ball in the second half when teams are worn down. he needs to be in screen packages with FJ occassionally.

but i really don't know what to make of him. he could show to be a 3 down back if he doesn't get injured. and if the line play gets better, he could help take a lot of pressure off a young qb.
