I couldn't be happier if we signed him and he beat out Tolbert. That being said, I'll be happy if he signed a 1 day to retire a Bill. My favorite Bill ever. Even named my dog after him. FRED!!

Never liked the way he got cut two years back when I think he still had a little in the tank. Always left a bad taste in my mouth.

 

Whaley and Rex are gone now, so I think he'd be welcome to come back for a day. I might be wrong but I think that was their choice?

He was an average RB at best, but friendly with the fans and a high character teammate so people want to turn him into a hall of famer. Let it go guys....

I think he can do it. Fred was never about speed, he was always a finesse runner. He'd only be asked to take minimal carries anyways so idt his body taking a beating would be an issue

Yes. It's time. Emotionally I was bummed when the Bills cut him, but even then my brain knew it was the right thing to do. The past two seasons have pretty much proven that. I love ya, Freddie, but at this point a mid-round rookie is probably at least as productive and less injury-prone. Walk away - don't limp.

seriously freddie, it's time to sign a one day contract and retire a bill.

 

And no, he doesn't belong on the WoF. Average skills but a heart of gold

Lots of narrow-minded ageism going on. I'd say invite him to camp and see if he can help the Bills at a position where they have next to nothing behind Shady. A player who had more career carries than Fred going into last season, for the record.

 

Fred has been proving the doubters wrong his whole career. I wouldn't bet against him.

He could be the first NFL player to start his career in arena football and end it in arena football

No way for the WOF. He was an above avg RB on a bad team and a lovable guy, but the WOF is for the best Bills in it's 57 year history.

 

Yep. It's not the wall of pretty good. Great story, great guy, good player, but outside of Buffalo do any fans think he was "special?"

It's sad really... watching these old guys try to cling on for one more season. Time to move on Fjax. There are other dragons to slay...
