mackey7789 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Check out the bills roster and the depth chart - Jackson has been deleted from BOTH. Also - look at his wikipedia page....says he was traded to Kansas City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I don't know about the trade, but Jackson isn't listed on the roster section on the team website. I just checked the roster too, and Jackson is not on it. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Before buying into retarded rumors, WHY would KC want Jackson, and WHY would the Bills trade him? Well...you COULD postulate that he was thrown in along with a draft pick in exchang for Gonzales. I'm not exactly sure why they would want him, though.

Drifter Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I would like to have Gonzalez. I don't think giving up Jackson for him is a good idea though. I don't think Gonzalez's contribution to the offense would be greater than Jackson's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilannie Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Maybe they have another trade worked out for LJ? Maybe it's a 3-way deal where we get Gonzo, KC gets Freddy, and team x gets y? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Fred Jackson for Tony G??? Why would we get rid of Jackson?? He has been a bright light this year.wrong guy to trade. We should give them McCargo and a 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsD#1in2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 This is all very very strange.......? IMO this would be a stupid trade if we had to get rid of Jackson because he is such a big part of our offense and IMHO is doing better then Marshawn right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I like Fred Jackson a lot, however let's remember he is a UFA at the end of the season, and the coaches were ecstatic about Xavier Omon. From that perspective Jackson does seem to be a likely candidate to be traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Well...you COULD postulate that he was thrown in along with a draft pick in exchang for Gonzales. I'm not exactly sure why they would want him, though. To use him the same way Buffalo used him behind Lynch. I just checked too. Not on the roster or depth chart. NFL.com has him still listed as a Bill but that's not surprising. If you go to a search engine and put his name in the Bills page about him will come up. If you click the link it just takes you to the roster. His page has been entirely pulled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Why tell the website guy about the trade before you break it to the public? But if this is true (hope not), I wonder if another possibility is that we traded Jackson for a pick straight up, not for another player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I don't know what is more surprising: The Bills are actually in trade rumors People actually believe that Wikipedia and the Roster on Bills.com would be updated BEFORE the trade is announced. I'd say its a tie. Actually, things like that happen far more often than you would think. That doesn't surprise me, at all. But, I agree that it isn't necessarily a sign that anything has happened.

But if this is true (hope not), I wonder if another possibility is that we traded Jackson for a pick straight up, not for another player. It's done more often than you would think. Not necessarily any verified info, but in the possibility of a deal, they might have the website people getting ready "in case". Sometimes the wrong page goes live. This really isn't that odd, IMO.

Steely Dan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 For what it's worth this is what Wiki says: On October 12th, 2008, in a sudden turn of events, Fred Jackson has been sent to the Kansas City Chiefs packaged with a 3rd round draft pick for TE Tony Gonzalez. In addition RB Larry Johnson has been sent to the New England Patriots for undisclosed draft pick(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously--Omon as a back-up to Lynch, who already takes a pounding, is scary. I wonder if there's another RB in the deal. Maybe 3-way deal involving the Steelers and we get one of their back-up RB's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladiebla Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think it's a website issue; Darian Barnes was released and his page still exists: http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/darian-barnes/ however Fred's page is gone: http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/Fred-Jackson/. Assuming player status is linked in the new website from their personal pages I'm going to say someone goofed up in the website editor which caused his page to dissappear with a side effect of him dissappearing automaticlly from the roster etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
