'64 Bills Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Fred Jackson fired his previous agent and hired a new one this week. If this has been posted previously I apologize! Fred was quoted as saying he wasn't happy with the extension he signed in 2009 and the way it was handled with the Bills. Let's be fair here. He's being treated by the Bills as a guy who is turning 30, has no big-time history in the NFL and is holding down the spot until CJ is ready to take over. He's way too good to lose or make unhappy. Remember original free-agent Bills Pat Williams and Jason Peters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I have always thought the Bills screwed him over and underpaid him when he signed his extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjatcreek07 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) I can see Freddie holding up for another 2-3 years so why not pay the man Edited December 4, 2010 by LoyalToTheEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantankerous Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 If Fred thought he was getting screwed then he shouldn't have signed the deal he got. BOOOOO f---ing HOOOOOO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) If Fred thought he was getting screwed then he shouldn't have signed the deal he got. BOOOOO f---ing HOOOOOO. I do not remeber the exact circumstances, but pretty sure Freddy was a exclusive rights type of guy, not quite sure he was a "free" agent. Freddie was making the minimum, Bills had all the leverage, and they used it. Did the Bills have the right to do that..absolutely Did they have to..no Should the man be paid like other players of his ability ..yes What that number is and what the differeance is in his salarey I do not follow close enough to know..but if they can be paying Kaelsey because he is part of the core, I gotta believe Freddie is just as important that room Edited December 4, 2010 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VADC Bills Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 If Fred thought he was getting screwed then he shouldn't have signed the deal he got. BOOOOO f---ing HOOOOOO. Then he should have the best year possible and when training camp comes if he doesn't have a new deal ask for a trade with a new deal or hold out. He is way more valuable to the team than Kelsey ever was. He was screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Freddy's picture still appears on the Integrity Sports Management, L.L.C. (ISM) and I was unable to find any source stating he had changed agencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
