Ryan Fitzpatrick’s Former Teammate Called Him to Apologize for Leaking His Retirement

After former Bills running back Fred Jackson accidentally leaked the news of Ryan Fitzpatrick’s impending retirement last week, the former quarterback insists it was no big deal.

“Me and my oldest son made that. ... Word cloud or whatever you want to call it,” Fitzpatrick told MMQB‘s Albert Breer on Friday. “And I just sent it to a bunch of guys just to say thank you and how much I appreciated them. And Fred decided to tweet it out.”

After Jackson realized that he upstaged his former quarterback’s announcement, he reached out to apologize.
