Bills G.M. Buddy Nix joined PFT Live on Friday to talk primarily about the team’s biggest free-agency acquisition since true free agency arrived in 1993, which coincided with the last of the team’s four Super Bowl appearances.

But we also addressed the status of veteran running back Fred Jackson. Nix said that Jackson will be offered an extension, because he deserves one. “The only negative with Fred is the route he’s come and he’s got some age on him,” Nix said, adding that the goal is to get it done before going to training camp in July.

So who will be the No. 1 tailback at camp, Jackson or C.J. Spiller?

“Well, that’s gonna be for them to decide,” Nix said.

We hope we’ve done enough to entice you to decide to what the entire clip.
