‘Jackson turned 28 in February. The Bills are certain to have his rights again in 2010. If he plays under a one-year contract this season, he will be a restricted free agent next year. That means he would be able to negotiate with other teams but the Bills would have the right to match any offer he gets, or they would get compensation if they didn’t match. That compensation is based on the initial contract offer a restricted free agent gets. This year, it took an offer of $2.2 million to ensure a first-round draft pick as compensation.’
