Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:58:44 -0700 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson said "it's just not the time" to be worried about a new contract as the team takes part in voluntary offseason workouts. He is entering the final year of his contract.

Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:01:03 -0700 The Buffalo Bills would like to hammer out a contract extension with RB Fred Jackson at some point, but do not expect any progress this week. Jackson, however, was present for the start of the team's voluntary offseason conditioning program Monday, April 23, and harbors no plans of a holdout. "It's just not the time," Jackson said. "This week they have the draft coming up. That's what they're focusing on. I'll just continue to be patient and see what happens. It's like I've said all along, I think something will get done. (General manager) Buddy (Nix) said that they want to get something done, so I'll just continue to put faith in that."
Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:18:46 -0700 Ron Raccuia, agent for Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson, said he expects to begin talks with the Bills about a contract extension for Jackson in the next few months.
Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:03:09 -0700 The Buffalo Bills hope to come to terms on a contract extension with RB Fred Jackson by the start of training camp, according to general manager Buddy Nix. "Fred has been vocal about wanting a new deal," Nix said. "I told him we'll at least do it before training camp. That way there's no chance of him getting hurt (beforehand)."
Thu, 23 Feb 2012 14:19:03 -0800 Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey said RB Fred Jackson (leg) has been medically cleared for all football activities. Jackson will be able to participate in offseason workouts.
Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:11:02 -0800 Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix has assured RB Fred Jackson personally that he'll be taken care of with a new agreement before the start of the 2012 season. Jackson has one year remaining on his current deal. "Fred and I have talked," Nix said. "We want to extend Fred. I'd like for Fred to finish his career as a Bill. He's meant a lot to us. I've got great respect for him. We do want Fred back and we do intend to try to work out a deal with him. I've told him that. What we said is what we're going to do."
Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:22:19 -0800 Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey indicated RBs Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller likely will share carries next season and neither will get a majority of the carries. "I wouldn't call it 50-50, but it's closer to 50-50 than it ever has been because (Spiller's) more confident and we have more confidence in him having experience now," said Gailey. "To me it's a win-win for everybody except them individually. It's a win-win for the team. It's a win-win for setting up game plans and for us making it through the season healthy. It's not a win-win for each of them individually because neither one of them will get the ball as much as they want to."
Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:01:27 -0800 Buffalo Bills RB C.J. Spiller said he will be comfortable sharing duties with RB Fred Jackson (leg) next season. However, Spiller also considers himself a secret weapon as a backup. "It's like having a diamond in the rough on the sideline," Spiller said. "We know that we've got a good one-two punch, if possibly the best one-two punch in the NFL, if we know how to use it."
Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:49:40 -0800 Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix said the team wants to sign RB Fred Jackson to a contract extension so he can retire as a member of the team.
Sat, 07 Jan 2012 10:00:13 -0800 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson has expressed his interest in a contract extension but the two sides have not started negotiations and none are planned at this point.
Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:54:40 -0800 The Buffalo Bills have placed RB Fred Jackson (leg) on Injured Reserve, ending his 2011 season. Jackson suffered a fractured fibula in Week 11. Fantasy Tip: With Jackson down for the count, newcomer Tashard Choice will be worked in. Look for Johnny White and C.J. Spiller to carry the load until Choice is up to speed. In the right situation, all three could be owned until this shakes out. Spiller has more value in PPR leagues. White could be used closer to the goal line and has a between-the-tackles role written all over him. Choice is versatile but needs to learn the terminology of the system and establishing timing with Ryan Fitzpatrick. The three backs, or at some point just two of them, could cannibalize each other.
Wed, 23 Nov 2011 09:47:14 -0800 Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson (calf) could miss the rest of the season because of his injury. There is a chance the team could place Jackson on Injured Reserve at some point.
Wed, 23 Nov 2011 09:06:44 -0800 Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey said RB Fred Jackson (calf) will not play in Week 12 because of a calf injury. Gailey said Jackson will be reevaluated next week. Fantasy Tip: C.J. Spiller and Johnny White will assume backfield duties. Spiller probably will start, but given his struggles with running between the tackles, White could serve as the goal line back and be the better fantasy sub for Jackson long term if you're scrounging. Neither is an exciting addition or play, though; Buffalo will probably end up passing more for this week, if not for however long Jackson is out.
Mon, 21 Nov 2011 15:10:24 -0800 Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey said RB Fred Jackson (leg) likely will not be able to practice early in the week but hopes he can practice as the week goes on.
Mon, 21 Nov 2011 08:21:47 -0800 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson's injured calf suffered in Week 11 is "very, very sore," according to a source.
Sun, 20 Nov 2011 16:06:45 -0800 Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson (calf) expects to be fine after suffering a bruised calf. He did undergo X-rays but they came back negative.
Sun, 20 Nov 2011 15:05:40 -0800 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson (calf) rushed for 16 yards on seven carries in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins. He also caught five passes for 50 yards in the game.

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:29:56 -0800 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson will face the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He was limited to 55 rushing yards on 19 carries two games against the Dolphins last season.

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 13:01:29 -0700 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson thinks he has "an assurance" that the team will restructure his contract. However, Jackson does not have a timetable for when it will happen after having a meeting with general manager Buddy Nix three weeks ago. Jackson has two years left on his current deal.
Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:10:46 -0700 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson carried 26 times for 120 yards in Week 8 against the Washington Redskins, and he added three receptions for a team-high 74 yards.

Thu, 25 Aug 2011 16:15:27 -0700 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson will start at tailback in the team's third preseason game. He has voiced concern over not starting in the previous game and has let it be known that he is not happy with his lack of first-string reps he has received in practice recently. "Who wouldn't want to be a No. 1 back? The big thing is that everyone is making a big deal about it. The thing about me and Fred is that we're pushing each other to get better," RB C.J. Spiller said.
Wed, 24 Aug 2011 16:21:07 -0700 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson had a productive talk with offensive coordinator and running backs coach Curtis Modkins earlier in the week.

Tue, 23 Aug 2011 08:40:16 -0700 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson said he is angry and confused over the team's decision to start RB C.J. Spiller in the team's last preseason game. Jackson feels he should be the No. 1 running back. "I was shocked," Jackson said. "I feel like a No. 1 back, and I should be treated like one. As far as what's going on, you would have to ask them. I'm going to come out here and compete. I feel like I have been competing. I feel like I have done everything I can. It's been like that for two or three years, and nothing has changed." He could ask for a trade if the Bills hand his job to Spiller. "If that's an avenue I have to take, I would definitely be open to it," Jackson said.
Mon, 22 Aug 2011 21:45:48 -0700 Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson said he is unhappy after practice Monday, Aug. 22, saying he feels underappreciated and uncertain of where he stands. "I feel like a No. 1 back," Jackson said. "I feel like I should be treated like one, know what's going on, know where I stand and what the situation is." His unhappiness stems from the fact RB C.J.
