Contract

Fred signed himself a nice little four-year deal in May of this year to the tune of $7.5 million.  The deal included a $1.1 million signing bonus with $50,000 available annually through workout bonuses.  Not bad for a 3rd year backup.  Here's how it shakes out:

2009 - $500,000 (+ $650,000 roster bonus)

2010 - $1.195 million (+ $250,000 reporting bonus)

2011 - $1.625 million

2012 - $1.830 million

2013 - Free Agent

The Better Looking RB

Fred Jackson is not nearly as ugly as his more highly touted backfield counterpart, Marshawn Lynch.  At least he's got that going for him.  But wait, there's more; he also boasts better per carry/catch averages than Lynch does. 

Jackson has a nice "feel-good" story to him in that he started his career in '04 signing with the Sioux City Bandits of the National Indoor Football League as a "street free agent", then moved up to NFL Europe in '06 before finally getting his shot in the NFL with the Bills at 26-years old for the 2007 season.  

He has changed the way the Bills are looking at running the ball this season with his performance working alongside Lynch last year,   and figures to all but destroy Lynch's value as a starting fantasy RB.  Turk Schonert has promised a larger role for Fred, and this is validated by the new four-year, $7.5 million deal they awarded him this past off-season.

 

2009 Fantasy Outlook

Fred is at his best coming out of the backfield, though he did well in-between the tackles last season, too.  He has great hands and shows no problem in picking up the blitz.  The Bills will be rolling out more of the no-huddle and have been lining up Jackson in the slot on occasion, so they seem bent on keeping him on the field where and when it makes sense.   Jackson is an essential handcuff to Lynch and should go not too far after Lynch gets drafted - maybe in the 10-14th round
