Fred Jackson: Officially ends career
Jackson is working toward signing a one-day contract with Buffalo to retire from the NFL as a member of the Bills, Kaley Lynch of WIVB 4 Buffalo reports.
Jackson expressed a desire to play last season but was unable to draw interest from organizations due to his advanced age and lack of impact on special teams. The running back spent his final season in the league in Seattle, appearing in all 16 games in 2015, but enjoyed his most productive run during his eight years with the Bills. He'll end his career with 8,643 yards from scrimmage and 39 touchdowns across nine NFL seasons.

Fred Jackson: Still wants to play
Jackson said he hasn't filed his retirement players and is hoping to continue playing somewhere this season, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
At 36 years old, it seems very unlikely that Jackson will garner much interest from teams, especially considering he hasn't played since 2015 and doesn't offer much value on special teams. Even if a team's backfield is depleted by injuries, it seems more likely to go with a younger, more capable back.
