All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

i thought of fred as Robb Riddick. really good on a bad team and too old when the team turned around. not that we are guaranteed a turnaround this season, but if ej does end up being good, Fred won't see the benefit of it.
Good for Fred but this move coupled with the recent depth chart release gives me a little concern about Bryce Brown. As on the depth chart he was listed as 4th which I at first thought was out of respect to Anthony Dixon since he signed here first. Yet if the Bills felt that Brown could carry the load himself or with Dixon am not sure Jackson gets this extension. Just some food for thought but again I might be reading far more into things. Yet it also doesn't help with the recent CJ Spiller trade rumors too.

As best I can find, it is a one year $2.6 million extension. I can't find any information on guarantees, so I think this is Spiller insurance. If Spiller stays, we should not be paying $2.6 million for a backup halfback. That said, if there was anybody on the team who deserves to be overpaid it is Jackson.

Even if he's technically a backup, we're still talking about a guy that's probably going to see a couple hundred carries a year. Plus he's one of the best 3rd down blocking RB's. As long as his ability doesn't drop off significantly, I think anything less than $3 mil a year is a bargain for a do it all RB like Fred. He should still have a significant role on offense whether CJ is here or not. The Bills should have a lot of extra cap space next year with Stevie J and Fitz finally coming off the books, so I think Fred's a worthy investment.

Well yeah, but that's a lot to ask of any halfback going into his 9th nfl year, let alone one who got a late start.
