Bills exclusive rights free agent Fred Jackson has been presented with a qualifying tender offer according to ESPN AFC East blogger Tim Graham. At this point the team has not confirmed the tender.

A tender offer to an exclusive rights free agent ensures that the player can only negotiate a new contract with his current club and cannot entertain any outside offers.

The deadline to tender Buffalo’s remaining restricted free agents (Gibran Hamdan, George Wilson and Keith Ellison) is Thursday at 4pm.

Restricted free agents Justin Jenkins and John DiGiorgio have already signed multi-year deals with the Bills.
