mjohns85 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 For some reason, I have a bad feeling we trade FJax to New England. Not saying, it makes sense, but when does our front office ever do anyhting that makes sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 What will really happen: Jackson will walk after this season. Bills will get nothing. Why will he walk when he is still under contract? Geez, people, even bothering to read a few posts in this thread would help one avoid such idiotic statements.

billnutinphoenix Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 No unless it is for either St. Louis or Indy's pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandamonium Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Trade Jackson - we're just going to lose him next season, anyway. Pool Jackson with our 1st round pick (and maybe a late rounder) and move up to take FRANCHISE QB. We are not going anywhere without a franchise QB. Sure we'll be competitive some weeks, but we're never really going to be in contention. Look at the teams that have top-tier QBs - NE, NO, GB, Ind, Pit - when their QBs are healthy, they're always making the playoffs and oftentimes playing in the SB. Few teams with average QBs are making late season pushes. If you're happy with mediocrity, stay the course. I like Fitz, but he's not the long term answer - that is obvious. Do something in free agency and move up to take a QB that will make us competitive for the next decade (or longer). Enough is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 would you consider trading fred to the vikes with ap done for a while? what is fred's value? I would trade anyone on the roster for the right price including CJ Spiller. You do need more than one running back in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Good lord people. What's wrong with you? Only legit superstar we have. Sure, let's trade him. I do hope no one at OBD is entertaining such foolishness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginiaMike Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I don't see Jackson going anywhere. You need two good running backs and Choice is not the choise. Jackson and spiller together gives the Bills the backfield they need. As a 3o year old RB (that's old for a RB), Jackson's trade value is not very high and certainly not as high as his worth is to the Bills. I don't see the Bills getting any more for him then they got for Lynch when he was traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, people, even bothering to read a few posts in this thread would help one avoid such idiotic statements. I meant next season. I misspoke. Sorry if that makes me an idiot in your eyes. Well, I don't really care about what you think so I'm not really that sorry... Edited December 26, 2011 by vincec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 For some reason, I have a bad feeling we trade FJax to New England. Not saying, it makes sense, but when does our front office ever do anyhting that makes sense? I'm sure we coiuld get a fourth round pick for him.

CardinalScotts Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Trading Jackson this off season would be extremely stupid. Fred maybe 30, but his performance each year appears to easily eclipse his previous year's production. One can argue that he has not even played his best football yet. ya in the depression of a disappointing season I think we have over looked just how good Fred is. He was arguably the best back in the league, and he can do EVERYTHING. I think we've watched CJ get better and better, and that is encouraging but Fred is something else - again beyond belief. The age thing is a barrier I would trade him for a #2 or a cluster of picks or a pass rushing LB-DE or a true number one wide out. Otherwise keep him and we have a very good one-two punch for a couple more years. ALSO Lynch- I always like his effort running style and he's had a good year especially fantasy numbers but it's his contract year. He has questionable character which some seem to forget - he wrote his own ticket out of town. I wouldn't take him back over Fred or Spiller right now.

Buffalo 66 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'd trade him in the offseason if you can get decent value. He's too old to rely on and is unlikely to stay healthy for a full season going forward. How many 31+ yr old rbs do you remember making the probowl? Spiller is the future. If you can get a second or third for fred, ship him off to a contender. He'd be a great fit for someone like new england. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I suggest that there are no untouchable 30 year olds on a 6-10 team. That defense is soooo overmatched, despite the fact that Jackson is a great player and I love him, I would absolutely trade him for a second or even a package including a 3 rd if it helps build that Defense. Be smart. Jackson will never be on a playoff Bills team, so why not entertain offers. That being said. He'll get signed to a Leino contract an blow out his knee in week 3.
