Fred Jackson

[kid mickey]

Called out a lot of the players that have had questionable character concerns putting Russ Brandon on the hot seat. I think that he effed up big time and for that reason might get shafted by the Bills. What do you guys think?

Re: Fred Jackson

I thought it was his agent that said that?

For the record, it was his agent not fred himself, and he was just trying to use the media to gain priority in contract talks. Honestly i think as long as he doesn't hold out i think Fred will get an extension. The bills need him too badly the first 3 games of the season and were not talking Jason Peters money here. With the draft over and Jason Peters out the door i think Fred becomes a priority and im predicting something gets done in the next few months

Re: Fred Jackson

Fred isn't going anywhere, and Freddy will get paid, in due time, and all this **** that has been said will be a distant memory.

Re: Fred Jackson

I still think that was a bad move by his agent, regardless of whether those were Fred's actual feelings or not. It is not a smart way to go. I hope that they retain him or give him a better contract, but his agent really needs to relax.

Re: Fred Jackson

Bad move by the agent, but I know someone who knows Freddy personally. He loves Buffalo, they gave him a chance when no one else would. He's priority #2 (IMO) and will definitley get paid.

Re: Fred Jackson

How exactly did those comments put Brandon in the hot seat?

Re: Fred Jackson

There were a lot of questions about the Bills targeting players that were lacking character. Why would an agent take a shot at the GM like that? Did you seriously ask that question? He has been fielding questions about character concerns every press conference he has been in. The guy is on the hot seat, because his players are effing up and Jackson's agent just makes it worse for him. You put a guy on the hot seat when you make smart ass comments on how the Bills are supposedly looking for high character guys and you don't give Jackson a new contract who has been nothing but a high character guy. It's bull**** in my opinion. Like Brandon knows every guy is gonna walk like the line. Its a pretty cheap shot. Every guy who happens to have "character" concerns just so happen to be signed.

Re: Fred Jackson

Fred should be the starter.

Re: Fred Jackson

Fred should be the starter.

Agreed.

If he has 3 good games before Lynch comes back do the Bills switch back to Lynch or do they look to move Lynch in the off season?

Knowing this franchise, Fred's gonna have like 400 yards after the three games and end up going back to the bench. They won't do anything to resign him after the season is up and he'll light it up elsewhere.

This is what pisses me off. Fred Jackson has done all the right things, and he deserves a contract extension. He's invaluable to this team.

Russ Brandon is a moron if he lets Fred go.
