Running back Fred Jackson is reportedly ready to sign with the Seattle Seahawks after being released from the Buffalo Bills this week.

NFL.com reports that after being released from the Bills on Monday, Jackson, 34, is traveling to Seattle Tuesday where he is expected to sign with the Seahawks.

Jackson’s potential move has come as noteworthy news to football fans as the deal would reunite the running back with his former Buffalo teammate Marshawn Lynch. Should Jackson join the Seahawks, he would backup Seattle’s Beast Mode.

Lynch and Jackson have reportedly remained good friends ever since they both played for the Bills.
