Tcali Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I would like to have Gonzalez. I don't think giving up Jackson for him is a good idea though. I don't think Gonzalez's contribution to the offense would be greater than Jackson's. i agree
deep2evans Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Why would we get rid of Jackson?? He has been a bright light this year.wrong guy to trade. We should give them McCargo and a 6th. uhh cause thats not how trades work. you give up an asset to get an asset.
BillsD#1in2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 This is all very very strange.......? IMO this would be a stupid trade if we had to get rid of Jackson because he is such a big part of our offense and IMHO is doing better then Marshawn right now
Tcali Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 uhh cause thats not how trades work. you give up an asset to get an asset. i was joking....McCargo and a 5th I meant.
The Dean Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Dean's post in the TG thread has the links: Thanks, I forgot to include the link, in this thread.
Mark Vader Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I like Fred Jackson a lot, however let's remember he is a UFA at the end of the season, and the coaches were ecstatic about Xavier Omon. From that perspective Jackson does seem to be a likely candidate to be traded.
Steely Dan Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Well...you COULD postulate that he was thrown in along with a draft pick in exchang for Gonzales. I'm not exactly sure why they would want him, though. To use him the same way Buffalo used him behind Lynch. I just checked too. Not on the roster or depth chart. NFL.com has him still listed as a Bill but that's not surprising. If you go to a search engine and put his name in the Bills page about him will come up. If you click the link it just takes you to the roster. His page has been entirely pulled.

I didnt watch the preseason so I wouldn't know....But anyone out there!!--Did watching Omon out there in preseason make you ecstatic?
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Why tell the website guy about the trade before you break it to the public? But if this is true (hope not), I wonder if another possibility is that we traded Jackson for a pick straight up, not for another player.
The Dean Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I don't know what is more surprising: The Bills are actually in trade rumors People actually believe that Wikipedia and the Roster on Bills.com would be updated BEFORE the trade is announced. I'd say its a tie. Actually, things like that happen far more often than you would think. That doesn't surprise me, at all. But, I agree that it isn't necessarily a sign that anything has happened.

But if this is true (hope not), I wonder if another possibility is that we traded Jackson for a pick straight up, not for another player. It's done more often than you would think. Not necessarily any verified info, but in the possibility of a deal, they might have the website people getting ready "in case". Sometimes the wrong page goes live. This really isn't that odd, IMO.
CJPearl2 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Maybe they have another trade worked out for LJ? Maybe it's a 3-way deal where we get Gonzo, KC gets Freddy, and team x gets y? Under this scenario the third team would trade its own player to itself.
Steely Dan Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 For what it's worth this is what Wiki says: On October 12th, 2008, in a sudden turn of events, Fred Jackson has been sent to the Kansas City Chiefs packaged with a 3rd round draft pick for TE Tony Gonzalez. In addition RB Larry Johnson has been sent to the New England Patriots for undisclosed draft pick(s).
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 ecstatic? I didnt watch the preseason so I wouldn't know....But anyone out there!!--Did watching Omon out there in preseason make you ecstatic? Seriously--Omon as a back-up to Lynch, who already takes a pounding, is scary. I wonder if there's another RB in the deal. Maybe 3-way deal involving the Steelers and we get one of their back-up RB's?
bladiebla Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I think it's a website issue; Darian Barnes was released and his page still exists: http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/darian-barnes/ however Fred's page is gone: http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/Fred-Jackson/. Assuming player status is linked in the new website from their personal pages I'm going to say someone goofed up in the website editor which caused his page to dissappear with a side effect of him dissappearing automaticlly from the roster etc.
RayFinkle Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 They are trying to trade LJ also. So maybe FJ for TG and then they trade LJ to like Detroit for Roy Williams or something? Yea.. a bit off the wall, but it's possible? This whole thread is crazy though. Everyone is assuming the tech geek at OBD was working on a Sunday and was the first one alerted to "the trade". I think not.
