The Apologist
The AP is reporting that the extension the Bills and Fred Jackson agreed to today is for the next four years. The exact dollars still haven't leaked yet, but as long as it's not too much, it's a smart move by a team that doesn't make many of those.
Originally the Bills had offered Jackson a joke of a one-year deal at $460,000. Granted Jackson started on the practice squad, but over his brief professional career, he has averaged 4.6 yards a carry and 8.6 a catch. It'll be very interesting to see how he responds to the opportunity he'll have in the first three weeks of the season.

Assuming Marshawn is set and ready to go in Week 4 (not to mention rested), the Bills figure to have a solid rushing attack in Lynch, Jackson and Rhodes.
With Jackson signed and happy, this is the part where you start to tell yourself the Bills could threaten for a playoff spot if all the right pieces fall into place on offense. Go ahead. Let it happen...
