Fantasy Football

The Facts:
The Bills guaranteed Jackson’s return Tuesday by making a tender offer to the exclusive rights free agent. Thursday was the deadline for teams to tender exclusive rights free agents. Jackson, who is entering his fourth season, will earn a minimum of $460,000 in 2009. Reported by the Buffalo News

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As an exclusive rights free agent, Jackson is not free to test his value on the open market. The Bills' tender offer precludes him from doing so. Assuming the two sides don't agree on an extension before then, Jackson, who proved more than capable of handling a featured role if need be, would become a restricted free agent this time next year.
