The Facts:
Jackson's contract with the Bills ran out in March, and he is dissatisfied with the Bills' offers so far. He has elected to work out on his own in Buffalo instead of at One Bills Drive.
Reported by the Buffalo News
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As News staffer Mark Gaughan explained, because he has only two years tenure in the NFL, Jackson is an "exclusive rights free agent." That means the Bills have exclusive negotiating rights to him because of the fact they made a minimum contract offer to him in late February. He can not negotiate with or sign with any other team. ... Jackson proved to be a versatile backup to starter Marshawn Lynch last season and is expected to start in place of Lynch to open the coming season on Sept. 14 at New England. Lynch is awaiting disciplinary action from the league and is expected to be suspended for one or more games to open the year.
