Big Turk Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Just was told this while discussing various things...nothing certain yet just that he is on their radar for a potential reunion...they still think he has some "juice" left.

JoeF Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I would love this...he may not even make the team but at least this would satisfy his need to know if he could make it. He can't be much worse than Reggie Bush.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I could see him signing some sort of minimum contract to give it a shot... if he makes the team, awesome, if he doesn't, retires as a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Man Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 No thanks. We don't need sentimentality. Â We need to remember him as a fantastic running back in his prime, not an old and past it version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPS Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 The offense would suit him well since he is an excellent receiver and great at picking holes. Given what's behind JW, why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Maybe they are just doing this out of respect, with no real intent of him making the team. It seems like they are already kind of deep at the position. We all know, Pegula is pretty sentimental...give Freddie a small, but decent, final paycheck, to thank him for getting us through some dark times...I really can't see him making the final roster...he looked noticeably slower in Seattle.

billieve420 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 If they put Fred through a workout and he shows them something I wouldn't be against a 1 yr min Vet deal. Fred is a leader and would be a welcome presence in the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leroi Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Fred might think he has some "juice" left but we don't. Â We may consider a 1 day contract to retire as a Bill. Retiring his jersey is out of the question. Â This is False. Â Â Imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'm not weighing in on Fred or Not-To-Fred, only with the bolded comment here.. Â how exactly are we deep at the position? We have Shady, JWill and then nothing, correct??
