BadLandsMeanie Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 I hope this works out. The retirements haven't being going so well lately. 1

Eight years as a Bill (more than enough accrued time), inspirational story, fought and clawed for everything he got, 3rd place on Bills all-time rushing leaders list behind only Thurman and O.J.---and most of that done as the number two back, as the team kept trying to move on from him, and with some pretty talented backs in Lynch and Spiller...and yet somehow in the end, Freddie was always the man still standing and even outperforming them. Had a 4.4 yard career average. Went to little Coe college (Marv's alma mater), loved the fans and playing in Buffalo (seeing Freddie run the field with a Bills flag after a great victory, c'mon), he was a very good player who should have been in Buffalo at least one or two more years (damn Whaley!), he was great in the community, great teammate, team leader, etc.. I mean we aren't talking about the Hall of Fame, it's not about comparing him to every RB who ever played the game and saying he wasn't elite. The Wall of Fame is about what you did in and for Buffalo and the Bills, and in my opinion, Freddie definitely has all the credentials for the WOF! Glad he's doing the deal to retire a Bill! I honestly had no idea 3rd all most as a Bill. Thought Travis Henry or McGahee had more longevity.
muppy Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 #22 Bills legend Fred Jackson retiring as a Bill is only fitting. The guy while he played was all heart, all class and a mans Man. I love me some Freddy Jackson. Fun to watch run the ball and such a nice Nice Guy by all accounts.
Skins Malone Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) He should absolutely retire as a bill. Awesome player and man. Guy came up the hard way and fought constantly to keep his job. I think his story would make a good 30 for 30. Edited April 12, 2018 by Skins Malone
CLTbills Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Fred epitomized what it was to be a Bill. Hard worker, earned every bit of what he had. Went from "who the heck is Fred Jackson?" to, for a year or two, one of the top backs in the NFL. Excited for him to retire a Bill. Still have my FredEx jersey!
JMF2006 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 This would be great. Honor him at the home opener and let him lead the charge....... .........by driving his Camaro onto the field
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 I love Freddie but these things are silly for me. Also, FJax (through no fault of his own) is just a symbol of how awfully mediocre the Bills have been.

Fred was awesome. 51 more guys cut out of FJ's and KW's cloth would have netted some winning seasons back then.
Nikademus Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 I hope this doesn't change what the Bills plans for the draft are 1
berg1029 Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Out of curiosity: How does the one day contract work? They said that they are working out details of it, are these details regarding the scheduling of the day's activities? Is he actually paid for his one day contract?

If not, I'd suggest that he fires his agent via Twitter. 1

Would have posted it if you hadn't. It's the definitive, must-see, Freddy moment in my opinion! How about this one!?
Roch Jim Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 So for 1 day, at least, we have a competent back-up for Shady!
