ATBNG Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I’m astonished by everyone thinking that there is a trade market for Moulds and Henry. Trades of actual players are pretty rare in today’s NFL with so many teams difficult facing cap decisions every offseason and lots of guys becoming available – the vaunted “proven NFL free agents” that those who (mistakenly IMO) defend the JP trade always cite as being around. Buffalo would be lucky to find a team that could fit Moulds under the cap – never mind give Buffalo a pick on top of it. This is not to say that he isn’t a highly skilled player, but that that is the reality in today’s NFL. Think about it another way – if you have 6 million available, why would you trade something of value for Moulds rather than just make Marvin Harrison or Plaxico Burress an offer?? This is why the Bledsoe trade was so bad – no one else apparently wanted the guy, and what was New England going to do if everyone just held out? Keep him as a backup?? Somehow TD gave up the upper hand in that one. Another example that the guy falls short when measured against his peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
