Jackson On New Deal: Fred Jackson spoke to the media after signing his new contract. He said he thought the process would have been smoother but he's glad to get it done. Negotiations began in February and he thought it would have been completed earlier which added some frustration about the situation but he called it part of the process. He said the number one thing is to get to work to prepare for the season. He said he's not too happy on how things have turned out with Marshawn Lynch but he's happy that he will be the guy they are leaning on early in the season. On the signing of Dominic Rhodes he looks at it as someone else to compete with like he does with Marshawn. He says Rhodes does a lot of things well and he's excited that he's here. He said nobody is happier than him that Terrell Owens is a Bill. It should take a lot of pressure off the running game.

Jackson Agrees To New Contract: The Bills have announced that they have reached an agreement on a contract extension with Fred Jackson. He told Sirius NFL radio on Saturday that he expected to get something done. There had been animosity developing as he waited for a long term deal. He originally did not show up at the offseason conditioning program before eventually coming in. He was an exclusive rights free agent so he had no leverage but wanted some security. The Bills wanted to make him happy because of the volatile situation involving Marshawn Lynch.

T.O. At OTAs Next Week: Terrell Owens said last month he will take place in the organized team activities that begin next week and it appears he will do so. That is because his VHI reality show confirms that taping in Buffalo begins Sunday. Taping of the show that chronicles his day to day life continues through June and the show will premier in late July.
