The Senator Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 And I understand the sentiment. I just don't think the Bills will find a replacement that's better than EM, and it's not like he's pulling a T.O and asking the Bills to renegotiate...quite the opposite - he just wants the Bills to honor the contract they signed.

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Send Moulds packing, but do it this way: Tell him he isn't going anywhere unless he can go find a trade partner. Good idea. You make Moulds and his agent do all the footwork to get a deal done. Perfect way to negotiate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Without a replacement for Moulds, I'm changing my tune on cutting him. However if he DOES stay under his current contract, the Bills have to demand that he stay in Buffalo over the off-season and workout with the QB's.

Bill from NYC Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 And I understand the sentiment. I just don't think the Bills will find a replacement that's better than EM, and it's not like he's pulling a T.O and asking the Bills to renegotiate...quite the opposite - he just wants the Bills to honor the contract they signed. 636665[/snapback] The thing that I am asking you to consider most is that if the Bills cut Moulds, they will not only gain 5 mil. in cap space this year, but more than this in 07. Please think about this.....the cap will go up, and they would be free of the huge salaries of Moulds, Williams, and others in 07!!! The Bills would be sitting on millions upon millions in cap room next season. If the Bills have a not so great season in 06, they will also draft early, after having done so this year (along with having an extra 3rd). I am just of the opinion that our resources should not go to old, under-productive malcontents. The young players that we bring in do not need a quitter as a role model. As a Bills Fan, yeah....I have had enough of Eric Moulds. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nonprophet Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 That would be a pretty good WR core except I think Parrish should try playing slot instead of Reed. 634232[/snapback] Being undersized and considering his speed, Parrish may be better wide where he'll rarely be covered by a linebacker.

The Bills could keep Moulds for this year and with the new provision in the CBA, cut him prior to June 1st next year and incur about a $1.8M cap hit for 2007 (and 2008). Given that the cap will rise by $5M, the Bills can easily afford to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could work,but we might need the money before than if we sign several more players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv Levy Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Very true. It is hard to find receivers who have 4 touchdowns in 15 football games, let alone a whopping 10.1 ypc! Now, if you can find one who quits on his football team against their biggest rival, he is truly a keeper. The Bills should not only keep him, they should give him a raise and extend his contract so we can have him long term. Eric Moulds has a HUGE long term interest in our franchise, and is just what the Buffalo Bills Football Team needs. I don't see what the hesitation is all about. 636651[/snapback] Yeah, easy to say, when you have a freakin' offensive line that sucks ass and doesn't give the QB time to do anything. Like I said before, contracts don't mean squat in the NFL. Moulds is still a playmaker and I'm sticking to it. The Bills are boneheads on this one.

justnzane Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Simply put, moulds is not worth the money he is commanding. While Evans and Reed were in buffalo during the last offseason working w/ JPL EM was not. That is a big reason why Evans and Reed were bigger targets to JPL and moulds was not. that being said, Let's see how they all get along this year.

scribo Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Being undersized and considering his speed, Parrish may be better wide where he'll rarely be covered by a linebacker. 636700[/snapback] Parrish seemingly needs to play slot where it is more difficult for a defender to get a good jam on him. I have NO problem at all with LBs trying to keep up with Parrish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is cut in 2007, whatever is left of unamortized bonus money would hit the cap in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
