Wayne Cubed Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I realize that. Make the event happen once he's "officially" done. Maybe he realizes that if he sits out again this season after finding no takes in 2016. He's on no team's radar AFAIK. They might do that. The Pegulas haven't had a prominent Bills player retire under their ownership, so who knows what they'll do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 fred jackson is one of my all time favorites. the man has a serious fire. i know he is nearing the end, but... what if freddy signs on for just one more year? what if he has enough left to give a few great effort runs, catches, and key blocks this year? what if the return of fred ex inspires some of our vets to give one last, great push? what if the passion for the game ignites a fire in the youngsters? what if his presence gives some of the emotionally unbalanced and dellusionally optimistic fans a little something extra to cheer for? what if...we win the whole...effing...thing? I love this posting Why would the new regime bring him back? He has no ties to the new coaching staff or the GM. Not gonna happen. Onward! Hasn't even been contacted by the team with OTAs now done even as a contingency RB. Give up the teary eyed nostalgia. the connection is with us. You are a cold cold person 26. even if you are Mr Spock logical ...envision a "Fred Ex Day" at The Hat unveiling his addition to the WOF....is there a bonafide list of qualifiers?..is it stats only?.....or does it embody the player on or off the field?...do we even know?....have fellow Coe College guy Marv pull the rope on the tarp.....empty seat or dry eye?...um right............ i like you. Marv would be the icing They might do that. The Pegulas haven't had a prominent Bills player retire under their ownership, so who knows what they'll do. Terry likes a good cry though. fits the model.

eball Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 The biggest honor Fred Jackson will receive from the Bills is to "lead the charge" at a home game in the future. The WOF talk is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 This. I want him to retire a Bill no matter if he sees the field or not. I am admittedly a Huge Homer Fan of his i've never really understood the significance of someone signing the 1 day contracts or whatever to retire with a certain team. Does anyone ever really think about what team these players retired with well after the fact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Fred is one of my favorite all time Bills, and not that it's his fault, but his locker room leadership didn't get us in the playoffs. It takes more than locker room talk. And I hate to say it but Tolbert already took the job of past his prime veteran that can lead... but Tolbert has ties to this staff. Jackson was a warrior, but he's not a viable NFL player at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATeam Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 This is fake news. jw ADD: The Bills have not contacted Fred. Matter is 0 for 2... time for a new source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 It never made sense. You CANNOT do this without him making the team and being on the roster. Otherwise it's just unneeded bad PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
