Buffalo Bills release veteran RB Fred Jackson

Fred Jackson's proud career in Buffalo has come to an end.

The veteran running back was released by the Bills on Monday, a source informed of the move told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. The team later confirmed the transaction.

Jackson, 34, spent the past eight years in Buffalo, serving as the team's workhorse back and defying the odds from the start as an undrafted prospect out of tiny Coe College.

Jackson's finest season with the club came in 2009, when he led the Bills with 1,062 yards before ripping off back-to-back 900-yard campaigns in 2010 an 2011.
