When asked how soon he’d like a new and improved accord to be reached between him and the Bills Jackson preferred sooner rather than later.
“Obviously as soon as possible,” he said. “We’ll see what happens with that. I’ll just put faith in Buddy (Nix) and see what happens. But the sooner it happens for me, the better for myself.”
Jackson said a one-on-one conversation with Bills GM Buddy Nix back in the fall left him optimistic that the club would address his contract, one which he believes he has outperformed with his production on the field.

Buffalo’s feature back was one of the top two players in the league in total yards from scrimmage and was leading the league in rushing when he suffered a fractured fibula against the Dolphins in Week 11. He was placed on injured reserve the following week.
Jackson is almost fully recovered from the injury at this point.
“The leg is doing good,” he said. “I just talked to the doctors. I’ve got about a week and a half before I can start doing everything like normal. That’s good and as soon as I can get back doing everything I will. That’s the plan. I want to jump right back into it like nothing happened.”
