Bills Cut Freddie Jackson

[oldunclemark]

One of my favorites...vet RB..He can still play.

Somebody's got to take a chance on him....NYGs? NOLA?

[akcolt]

Maybe Dallas

[RealityIsLuck]

Oakland?

[amfootball]

Pats will be interested as well.

I kinda wish we'd sign him. He and Gore would be pretty awesome. Then we could keep Robinson and Boom as our 3rd and 4th backs. But I'm guessing Dallas. They fooled around and didn't take care of their need for a RB in the offseason. Now they have a chance to get a solid back right before the season starts.

He's spent, a decent 3ed down option, but nothing more. The fact that the Bills cut him already tells me that the option of being a 3ed down back passed him by too..

I agree. That is an old RB.

[oldunclemark]

It would have to be someone who is going to be in the playoffs THIS year...

...But running backs get hurt..If he can stay in shape..someone will call

Hell yeah...a two-headed monster...both could be healthy all year sharing the workload #GOCOLTS

He's old but he was old when he entered the league!!!!!! He looked good this preseason. I'm beginning to think the Bills are going to be back to their old 4-12 selves.

He looked excellent vs Pitt. He exploded through the line on their first play of the game and took it almost to the house. Given McCoy is recovering from a hamstring, I thought for sure they would carry him. But yeah, they have 4-6 wins written all over them.

They definitely will be unless somebody steps up at QB. I'm looking at you TyRod. But yeah man. You can have the best roster in the league, but if you don't have a QB then you aren't going to win many games.

[BloodyChamp]

I'm not necessarily on the QB tells all bandwagon, but when your QB isn't even the first or second best on your own team followed by the same deal with your RB...

[Andrew Luck fan club]

I think the bills will be a good team.

[Wooderson]

He hasn't played a full season since 2011.  He's been hurt throughout training camp until just before Pitt game.  They really like Karlos Williams (rookie out of FSU) who has had a non-football injury but will be back by week 1.  He doesn't play special teams, Boobie Dixon does.  Whaley traded for Bryce Brown who's electric but has fumbling issues.  He's 34 years old who's salary could be used to help sign Dareus to a long term contract. 

 

They cut him early, instead of waiting till the last minute, to offer him a chance to jump on with another team and have plenty of time to catch up.

 

Great in pass protection and receiving game and will help Seattle there.

Did he sign with Seattle?

[BloodyChamp]

Karlos Williams is good like every FSU RB but he hasn't played a down. Until he plays a down Freddie has him beat in durability part no matter how many games he's missed.
