Fred Jackson signed a deal which keeps him aboard through the 2012 season, which is promising news whether or not their top rusher has been put in time out. The NFL's best backup runner will be back to provide as many touches as his team needs during any week. He doesn’t seem like the type ...

In an interview with Jackson on BuffaloBills.com; Jackson admits that he didn't particularly like the way negotiations went down. Implying that Lynch's situation actually helped him.

In the Buffalo News he was also quoted as saying, "The terms that we came to, we didn't quite agree on in the beginning," he said. "You can say there was some frustration at times, but I think that's part of the process."

Maybe it's just me, but that sounds like NEGOTIATING. Why oh why do these hateful NFL execs feel the need to negotiate? Players "feelings" could be better preserved by just giving them what they want in their original request.

Jackson also said, "To get something you want you're going to have to work for it, and that's just the approach that I took."

Maybe if Peters had taken the same approach he would have been treated similarly... guess we'll never know... cuz he didn't.

This wasn't about Lynch. It was about acting like a professional and being treated like one. Jackson is no prima donna and clearly belongs in a Bills uniform... it looks like management thought so too.
