No doubt. Was this produced for a tv network or anything or is it an independent project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineMoxie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Nice job! Great story. The more you stop and think about it, the more amazing Fred's story seems. He didn't just make his way up through the ranks to the NFL - he made it up through the ranks to become a legitimate MVP candidate at age 30 (which is old for a RB, though we know he hasn't had the years of bodily abuse yet).

buffalo1983 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson has been one of the best performers in the NFL this season, but doesn't have the salary to back up his numbers. Having been vocal about wanting a new contract earlier in the season, Jackson told a national radio show that he's had a face-to-face meeting with Bills general manager Buddy Nix -- to which WGR Sports Radio 550 can confirm, according to sources. The meeting was said to be a healthy one between the two, and Jackson came away confident that a deal would get done. Multiple sources to WGR can confirm an earlier report by ProFootballTalk.com, that the Bills intend to strike deals with a pair of players that do not have a contract in place for next season. Those players include kicker Rian Lindell and right tackle Erik Pears. Once those two contracts are finalized, the Bills will then focus on paying Jackson. The team's top running back has the rest of this season and another year remaining on his current contract that will pay him $1.75 million total in 2011, and $1.83 million for 2012. -wgr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills!Win! Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 After Jackson should we focus on Johnson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 This is kinda how I expected this to go down...... Somewhere in there we really need to include Stevie Johnston in the mix.....dont want him to get to free agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 We can only focus on 1 contract at a time? Did we only hire a part time high school kid to negotiate contracts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsObserver Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hate to say this but I sense that Stevie is not anywhere close to being a priority as far as re-signing and I'm not sure why. (only thing I can think of is Stevie would prefer long term stability (and they know it) and not the franchise tag which is what has been leaked recently. but why would the team want to franchise him when they can resign him for less than the price of the franchise tag? are they unsure of stevie or do they believe wide receivers are easy to find? or is this simply a negotiating tactic? just asking questions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) SJ at 25 doesn't have the age liability of Jackson at 30. SJ knows he will be worth a lot more so I think the lack of urgency is coming more from him and his agent than from the Bills, who I'm sure would love to lock him up at something below a competitive free agent rate. But neither SJ nor his agent seem the type to settle for a nickel less. Not getting any sense of loyalty from them.

John from Riverside Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It is my hope that they will lock up these other guys and then turn their attention to Stevie big time..... He is the Andre Reed of this generation of Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsner Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It is my hope that they will lock up these other guys and then turn their attention to Stevie big time..... He is the Andre Reed of this generation of Bills. Completely agree and have the same hope. Stevie NEEDS to be locked up long term. I believe it will happen. He has a bigger positive influence on the Bills players and Bills in general than just his playmaking skills. He is earning a pay raise in a big way.
