There's just one problem.
Is he the starter or the backup?
Fred Jackson has made it known that he wants a new deal and so far the Bills are unwilling to budge. Out of all of the position battles leading up to the season, it's the running back spot that I will pay most attention to.
Depending on how Jackson wants to handle his contract will largely impact the Bills offense and those first three games of '09.
And it's very likely, with the uncertainty at running back, the Bills could start 1-2 or 0-3. Looking at the schedule, the Bills face the Pats on the road week one and then host the Buccaneers and Saints.
The Bills were interested in Rhodes early during Free Agency, but the Lynch suspension made it all the more necessary to sign the former Indianapolis Colt.
