Brandon Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 What is a 32 year old WR with a huge contract worth in a trade, especially when he appears to have lost a step or three?

It's more than 48 hours after FAgency started and he's trying to get attention. Trouble is, he should have been trying to get attention on the playing field for the last dozen Sundays last year. Hey.

The Dean Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Yeah...he will make more with uffalo this year than any other team...so im not sure what he is crying about... 627742[/snapback] Because the Bills could cut him AFTER other teams have spent their "crazy" money. While I understand his situation, the Bills need to do what the Bills need to do. I don't think they'll purposely screw with EM...but, they'll work their plan.

Kelly the Dog Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Seriously, Levy and Jauron should tell Moulds that they took themselves out of the Free Agency Period because they didnt like the way Daniel Snyder was signing all of the players, and instead of being a player in FA, they were just going to go to their offices and listen to tunes on their iPods instead.

If you don't think Moulds is all about the money, then go to Seductions on Sunday night and watch him make everyone in the joint make sure they all know he makes huge money playing for the Bills. That being said, EM sure does hate playing with JP, and I'm sure that factors into it as well. But it is a far #2 IMO. EM is all about Money and Strippers and not playing with JP He doesn't try to even remotely hide this when in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he wants to go to a winning team with a decent QB other than Jp Losman. 627758[/snapback] Eric Moulds is not going to get the kind of money the Bills are scheduled to give him, from another team. He knows that. If he is going to take a big paycut, however, he wouldn't do it for a team that is rebuilding again, but rather go somewhere to win. I can't say that I completely blame him. I wouldn't mind seeing him back, but, if he doesn't want to come back, wish him luck, and let him go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills signing of Andre Davis also makes perfect sense now. He is not a direct replacement for either Moulds or Reed, but was signed this weekend as an insurance policy in case they could not reach an agreement with Moulds on a contract.

UConn James Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) Well...I agree it has to do with the QB but I think it is more that Evans is Losmans' boy more then Moulds..... 627808[/snapback] And whose fault is that? When JP was named the starter, he invited Evans and Moulds to work out with him to get their timing down and generally acclimate to each other. Moulds chose to take out his anger at TD cutting Drew, by not showing up. JP was on the same page as Evans; Moulds wasn't thrown to as much last year b/c he wasn't. Hard to empathize with someone who created his problem in the first place. And then there's the whole Miami game spectacle. The fact he's still on the team sends the players the wrong message that they can defy the coaches; Rueben pulled the same thing and he got his. Levy's hand was kind of forced, as you want to try to get something in exchange. And yet, he couldn't shop Moulds around in the situation last week b/c other teams figure all they need to do is wait to get him for free. Moulds and his agent now are moving things along on their natural progression by announcing that he is, de facto, on the market. I think we get something for him, but maybe not as much as one would like. Edited March 14, 2006 by UConn James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper13 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 If I were Marv, I'd make an example out of Moulds and make him pay. Keep him until June 1st and then cut him. The Bills would still save the same money in cap space if they cut him now or waited until 6/1. Also let it be known that EM is available in a trade for a 1st round pick only. Maybe someone will bite. $7.1 million/$10+ million cap hit for Moulds is almost as obscene as the contracts Washington has handed out the last couple of days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Broncos may be waiting to see what's going to happen, but Eric's under contract. Trade Moulds for a conditional pick in next year's draft, or Moulds and our higher 3rd-Rounder for their lower first rounder. A great place to take Jean-Gilles OG or Darryl Tapp DE.

You wouldn't expect to get fired? Moulds got a slap on the wrist. What does this say wrt anyone else doing the same thing? JP and Evans' syncranization last year was testament to what could have been had Moulds not been staring at his colon from the inside? Like I said, it was a problem of his own making. What's happening now is what needed to happen. It's how the NFL (and sports) is now that a player needs to "demand a trade" then the GM says that "X is under contract, and we'll blah blah blah" to get some hype going so both sides can get done what needs to get done. And I think it'll end up being win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 "He'd be grossly underpaid and grossly underappreciated." UNDERPAID!? He's being paid 7.1 million dollars this season! 627841[/snapback] I don't think the Bills want anything to do with that Cap Figure though... They want Eric to take a cut period from the looks of it...Otherwise why all the drama, especially after the Cap increase...I think the Bills are trying REAL hard to get Eric to "take one for the Team," and Moulds wants no part of that because of #7. I think Eric would rather stay in Buffalo. But not for anything less than that $7.1. Moulds and his Agent have to know the chances of Eric making back what he gives up over the next 2 Years are slim and none at his age. The Bills HAVE to be low-balling a bit on this Years hit though. Otherwise, I think Moulds would be much more willing to sit tight for a bit... I'd love to see EM stay, I'm a HUGE Fan...But at this point does anyone think the Bills get a happy Eric Moulds if he does return? Past this point if the Bills want EM back they should simply say "#80 is under Contract, and that will not change for 2006..." End of subject...Otherwise release him and move on...
