GM Nix: Plan is to extend F-Jax before season
Fred Jackson - RB - Buffalo Bills
Feb. 10, 2012 - 8:35 AM ET
Bills GM Buddy Nix confirmed that the team still plans to extend Fred Jackson's contract before the start of the 2012 season.
"I'd like for Fred to finish his career as a Bill," said Nix. "He's meant a lot to us. I've got great respect for him." This has major repercussions for offseason Dynasty start-up drafts. C.J. Spiller proved capable of shouldering feature-back duties down the stretch, but he's not going to nail down that role for another 1-2 years if a still productive F-Jax is extended. Jackson (fibula) was cleared for all football-related activities two weeks ago.
