Fred Jackson might be on the road to a reunion with Marshawn Lynch.A day after being released by the Bills, Jackson took a flight to Seattle to meet with Seahawks brass, and both sides expect a deal to be done in the near future, according to NFL Media.
Jackson carried for 5,646 yards, the third-most in franchise history, over five seasons with Buffalo before being cut ahead of their final exhibition game.
He and Lynch were a spectacle in the Bills backfield in 2007, when Lynch was a first-round pick and Jackson got his first major pro showing after going undrafted four seasons prior and spending time in NFL Europe.
After acquiring Lynch in 2010, the Seahawks have been looking for his backup. Robert Turbin is the current No. 2 on the depth chart and Christine Michael serves behind him.
But Jackson would be the front-runner in any backup competition behind Lynch. An able pass catcher and an excellent run or pass blocker, he can provide Beast Mode with some rest on 3rd-down and late-game situations this season.
