Fitzy, Jackson, and Johnson all in contract years? Better sign these guys or the trend of the Buffalo Bust might just continue for another 10 years..

@ bombacim…I wish i could dislike your comment a million times…wtf are you talking about man?

Fred literally puts the team on his back an carries them into the endzone…he can completely change the game in one play..

listen to the players..EVERY ONE of them says they get inspired by Fred…

Ralph..PLEASE…. pay this man…and Stevie…and Fitzmagic…they love being Bills, lets keep it that way…

LETS GO BUFFALO!!

I hope Freddy gets paid…..I think he’s a good player and he deserves it……however, I am getting a little irritated with hearing that he is upset via public forum……lots of players are upset for one reason or another…..most of them don’t feel the need to talk it over with the media.

Fitzpatrick should be the role model…..when Fitz is asked about his contract he replies, “that’s not for me to worry about. That’s between the Bills and my agent”.

When will these running backs learn. They are a dime a dozen. If your team has a good offensive line any NCAA back should be able to run through the hole. Take a look at the footprint put out by the Packer’s. They don’t need a special back. One to just pound the line every couple downs to give the qb a rest. The only back worth more than he makes right now is AP. He’s the only guy consistently breaking tackles and a threat on every play. Fred Jackson, Matt Forte, and more importantly Frank Gore are not special in any way.

First of all let me say that Fred Jackson has the heart of a lion. If he had the God given talent of a Adrian Peterson or a Chris Johnson, Freddy with his heart, would be the best RB that ever put on an NFL uniform. Jackson hardly ever makes a mistake, hardly ever is thrown for a loss, always falling forward to gain positive yardage. The guy is a beast and hardly anyone can deny him. Pay the man!!!

Too many contract distractions on my Bills team. Let’s just focus on this magical season, guys!

As great as Fitzpatrick and Stevie Johnson have become, this guy is the true heart and soul of that offense. Do the right thing, or you will be sending a horrible message to all the other players in that locker room.

Pay the man. He’s got a lot less fatigue on his body than other 30 year old backs and is the workhorse of the offense. He has outplayed his current contract and wants to be here. Make a statement to the rest of the league Buddy, open Ralph’s vault and give Freddy what’s due. C.J. Spiller can’t run inside all day like this guy.

I’ve snuck Fred Jackson onto my FF lineup 2 years straight. 2 or 3 seasons ago he rushed for 1000+ and kick returned for 1000+. He a very well rounded and durable guy. And until recently he’s highly underrated. That being may deserve a new deal but making 1.75 and 1.83 MILLION dollars is not so bad. If he wasnt so old he could wait and sign elsewhere but by the time this contract is up his value will drop below what it is now.

Bills fans deserve better than this. And this is coming from a Pats fan.

They should just put some incentives in the contract he has.

give the guy a contract and it will change his playing, you know that is the case. So you have that to weigh vs a cancerous player in the locker room bitching about the owner

I would pay him, and I hope this doesnt affect his fantasy #s

What does he want done about what? He is already under contract .

He just killed his chances for a new deal by getting quoted as “motivated” to play better because of his lack of one.

I don’t understand the “less wear on his body” with older backs that haven’t played much in the NFL.

He stook snaps in the CFL, didn’t he? Running the ball is still running the ball. Sure it was at a lower “minor league” type level… but the offensive line was weaker along with the defensive line, so he was likely hit just as much there.
