Fred Jackson has given up the snow of Western New York and is swapping coasts this season, as the veteran running back has agreed to a deal with the Seattle Seahawks.
On his way to Seattle with cutie-pie daughter in hand, the fan-favorite tweeted this goodbye message to his Buffalo fans:
ITS BEEN REAL BUFFALO!! ✌🏾 Can't Thank all the fans enough 4 the support U've shown me over the years #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/52tPYSAzcP

Jackson is obviously catching a flight to head to west for a fresh start with the Seahawks, as well as former teammate and Seattle’s superstar running back Marshawn Lynch.
However, this hasn’t been Jackson’s only parting message. After spending eight seasons with Buffalo, he was cut last Tuesday. Following the release, Jackson told reporters he felt Bills general manager Doug Whaley wasn’t honest in how he handled his release.
The silver lining in all this is that Jackson will now be with a franchise that has a much better shot at winning a championship before the 34-year-old eventually hangs up his jersey for good.
