The Facts:
Bills G.M. Buddy Nix joined PFT Live and addressed status of Jackson. Nix said that Jackson will be offered an extension, because he deserves one. “The only negative with Fred is the route he’s come and he’s got some age on him,” Nix said, adding that the goal is to get it done before going to training camp in July.

So who will be the No. 1 tailback at camp, Jackson or C.J. Spiller? “Well, that’s gonna be for them to decide,” Nix said. So an open competition it will be with an aging (31) but still very effective Jackson battling it out with the younger, faster man for the starting job. If Jackson
plays like he did early last year before fracturing his lower leg, he'll be hard to beat out. But if Spiller plays like he did in Jackson's absence down the stretch, he can certainly make a fight of it. ... We'll be watching this one closely.
