Kind of a surprising move, no?

Ian Rapoport Twitter › RapSheet 9 mins ago #Bills RB Fred Jackson was slated to make $2.35M in Buffalo this year. He was not asked to make a paycut. He was simply released.

I know shady isn't hurt all that badly but with that being the case this was a real shock

Eta: I wonder who picks him up?

Wow, that is really shocking. He'll end up somewhere very soon, if not back with the Bills in a couple of weeks.

Fred Jackson is 34, which is ancient in RB years. Maybe the Bills think he's lost a step.

Cowboys, Browns, Houston, Patriots, and probably a couple others I'm forgetting are going to be all over him

The Cowboys do not need him they have 4 RB's that they really like. I am not sold on McFadden, but if Dunbar and McFadden split the load I think it will be a good situation.

I don't think they like those RBs as much as they want you to think they do. They seem to be set on a committee approach, which more often than not is due to a lack of talent, and not a plethora of it

Had to be money-related bc Jackson is a serviceable RB.

They've got a lot of young backs so it's a numbers game and they probably told him to take a pay cut and he said frick off

Most likely - he's arguably better than Karlos Williams and Boobie Dixon currently, however is age and contract situation is far less favorable for the Bills.

Bryce Brown is on the roster as well.

Lots of trades happening today too

Jaguars sent Scoby to the steelers

Tim wright sent to the Lions

Another kicker I'm forgetting got traded

Chris Clark traded from Broncos to the Texans
