Bills' Fred Jackson 'not concerned' about extension

BY NICK ST. DENIS

Fred Jackson has poise on and off the football field.

Jackson, who is still waiting on the contract extension the Bills promised him this offseason, told reporters Monday that he's "not concerned" about the progress, or lack thereof, between his camp and the Bills.

“It’s just not the time,” the veteran running back said, according to BuffaloBills.com's Chris Brown. "This week they have the draft coming up. That’s what they’re focusing on. I’ll just continue to be patient and see what happens."

Jackson's showing up to voluntary workouts is telling not only of his commitment, but that he's fairly certain the extension is essentially a lock and that it's just a matter of time. Bills general manager Buddy Nix has repeatedly stated that Buffalo wants to make Jackson a Bill for life by adding to the one year Jackson has remaining on his contract.

"It’s like I’ve said all along, I think something will get done," Jackson said. "Buddy said that they want to get something done, so I’ll just continue to put faith in that.”
