Fred Jackson Hints That Ryan Fitzpatrick May Be Retiring

Former NFL running back Fred Jackson seemed to announce that quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick may be retiring from the league.

The two played together for the Bills from 2009 to ’12, so the two may have a close enough relationship for Jackson to find out about this news before everyone else. Jackson posted a text from Fitzpatrick that said: “Forever grateful for the magical ride.”

Fitzpatrick played for nine teams in his 17-year NFL career, but Buffalo was the only team he played with for more than two seasons. He consistently bounced around the league as a backup, but often found himself as his team’s starter before long.
