‘Wide receiver Eric Moulds is expected to be an ex-Buffalo Bill by the end of the week.’

‘”Eric loves Buffalo. He wants to play there. But he’s not interested in playing for substantially less money.”

‘Smith, a star defensive lineman at Virginia Tech in the 1980s who went on to become the NFL’s all-time sack leader during a 19-year NFL career with the Buffalo Bills and Washington Redskins, started the development firm in 2004. He also served on the university’s governing board from 2002 to 2003 before stepping down because of time obligations to football.’

‘Bruce Smith worked hard to change his diet and workout routine to such a degree he eventually had the same percentage of body fat you’d see in wide receivers and running backs. Williams seemed to get bigger and bigger, and less and less effective. Worse yet, he never really seemed to care.’

‘No way were the Bills going to bring him back at the full salary cap hit and this weekend’s announcement by Moulds’ agent that he won’t be taking a pay cut virtually assures Moulds won’t return. It makes sense. Of Moulds’ 81 receptions last season, 59 came in the eight games Kelly Holcomb started. He was obviously not on a similar page with Losman.’

‘”Based on what they’re proposing, I guess it’s not encouraging,” Moulds’ agent Harry Henderson told The Associated Press by telephone following a meeting with team officials. “We’re way off. … Our attitude has been optimistic, but realistically it may not happen.”‘
