Villain The Foe Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 What's more shocking is you guys think Jackson can actually pick and choose where he goes. He may not have a choice at all 32 teams, be he most definitely has a choice to retire if his only option is f'ing Cleveland. And when you're a free agent you can definitely reach out to every team, which is still better than playing for Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's turning down $855,000 to be a part-time player in Cleveland just cuz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if he spent his career in Miami or Diego, he was just in Buffalo for a handful of years, Cleveland is a lateral move. **Based solely on the environment/scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Rex loved Jackson, I would have to imagine he's either still hurt or just done at this point. Rex tried cutting him the second he landed in Buffalo and the owners had to talk him out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's turning down $855,000 to be a part-time player in Cleveland just cuz? Im just saying, he has a choice. And I believe Fred Jackson has been good enough to get an offer outside of Cleveland. If his only choice is Cleveland he should hang it up. yeah, vet minimum is 900,000, but he's a multimillionaire. He can leave that on the table if he took care of his money. Some places are not worth playing when you're on the tail end of your career. Until Cleveland shows that they are a better ran organization I would pass on them. It's not as if he spent his career in Miami or Diego, he was just in Buffalo for a handful of years, Cleveland is a lateral move. **Based solely on the environment/scenery Cleveland is not a lateral move my friend. The Bills are a much better organization. Its ran better and has better talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

predator_05 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The guy looked great in that pre-season game against the Steelers. Still has some juice. Bear in mind that his career didn't really take off until he was old(ish) so he doesn't have a ton of mileage. Best of all, he played under Gailey. Only question is whether he would want to move down here. He is settled upstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
