    I'd pass. I like the Ivory, Powell, Stacy trio.

    You think the Bills should have kept him?

    Of course.

    He was a veteran leader who is a solid RB to have on your squad. Especially after McCoy got injured. You lost Spiller already. Probably would have been a good idea to hang on to a proven talent

    They say he is expected to sign with Seattle.

    Surprising. They're already stacked at RB.

    He will be the backup and maybe the passing down back too.

    Noone is afraid to answer you. Rex has a terrible record on 1 keeping players to long and 2 choosing the wrong ones to keep

    The only one that was ever afraid to answer you was your mother when you asked her who your dad was.

    I normally don't respond to irrelevant personal attacks but this one was so hilariously embarrassing that I wanted to make sure I had it quoted in case you realized how stupid it looked and deleted it :D

    You're a 50 year old man, dude. This is so sad LOL

    Why not put it as a sig, that way it will be there every time you post. Did your mom at least narrow it down to the 10 or so dudes he might be?

    So before somebody else thinks coaches make personnel moves, read this.

    According to the Buffalo News' Tim Graham, Bills GM Doug Whaley "went rogue" in releasing Fred Jackson.

    Advice: Making roster decisions is what general managers are paid to do, so this shouldn't come as a groundbreaking decision, but typically the GM will consult the coaching staff. Apparently, Whaley didn't even discuss the matter with coach Rex Ryan. Reality is the Bills paid LeSean McCoy top dollar to be their new bellcow, and Whaley drafted Karlos Williams and handpicked Bryce Brown last season in a draft-day trade. Jackson has since come after Whaley a bit via the media, saying the GM was the "one person in the organization I haven't gotten honesty from." Jackson's release saved the team over $2 million.

    I've seen a lot of Bills fans up in arms about this decision, and I personally also think they should have kept him especially with the emerging reports that McCoy may not be ready for week 1. You can't cut your locker room "glue" guys unless there is a very sizable talent gap, and I don't think the other RBs they have blow him out of the water. He has a role on that team as a pass protecting back and platoon player. I can see the angle of wanting to free cap space, but I don't doubt that Jackson would have restructured (more guaranteed, lower salary). Do you know if they even tried to do that?

    And do you personally support the move to cut him?

    This is seriously an insult that middle schoolers use. You've been a member on this forum for 13 years so I doubt you're in middle school. You must be awkward in person if you still act like that.
