Bills release Fred Jackson

[patsinthesnow]

@viccarucci: The #Bills have released RB Fred Jackson as part of their roster cut to 75, according to an #NFL source.

More BB kryptonite gone. Wonder if we'd be interested.

 

[SalemPats]

wow, i didn't see that coming. I think he would be a perfect 3rd down back.

 

[Concussion Protocol]

He's a million years old. No thanks, but he was a real good player in his prime.

 

[luuked]

Cant hurt to bring him in for a checkup..

 

[chasa]

I'd kick the tires.

 

[DaBronxPats14]

If BB thinks it's worth a shot and he can help, go for it.

 

[Marqui]

I think the ship has sailed on that one.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

I'd kick the tires.

We're all worked up over Goodell vs Brady. We'd be willing to kick practically anything. .

As for Fred Jackson, he hasn't really burned BB too much so I imagine there is only a little bit of interest.

 

[oldrover]

This time of year is like an NFL yard sale.

 

[Froob]

Always thought he would end up here eventually but, we're loaded at running back right now. Have too many as it is.

 

[Marqui]

I would rather have him than Cadet though.

 

[BlueThunder]

Why? Cadet hasn't shown what he can do yet........probably a cut because of Pats RB depth. Is he PS eligible?

Love that 500yds Receiving from the Backfield last year Jackson have BB signing written all over him. Everytime I remember seeing Jackson is him catching passes against our LB's...sign the Beast!

 

[WaterfallJumper]

He's always been a guy I've wanted to see on the Patriots. I'd bring him in for a workout at least.

 

[hypotherion]

Jackson's stats last year:

141 Rushes for 525 Yards
66 Receptions for 501 Yards

I'd take a look. He's never been to the playoffs, he'll be hungry.

 

[Betterthanmost]

I bet BB is on the phone with him.

 

[billdog3484]

i say there is close to 100% chance he signs with us

 

[RobertWeathers]

No. Shadow roster.

 

[PatsFan2]

Jackson's stats last year:

141 Rushes for 525 Yards
66 Receptions for 501 Yards

I'd take a look. He's never been to the playoffs, he'll be hungry.

That is more yards Rushing and Receiving than the younger Shane Vereen last year!

Is this early release a "courtesy vet" move like BB does for "esteemed vets" that won't make his roster.
PS...Fred Jackson ====>Clock Killin 2.0 ??
