Texans Release Eric Moulds and Seth Payne

[Michael82]

With the free agency period beginning this Friday, the Texans cleared some room in their salary cap today by releasing veterans Zach Wiegert, Seth Payne and Eric Moulds.

The three players have a combined 33 NFL seasons under their belts, including 10 with the Texans. Each of the players started for the Texans at some point during the 2006 season, although Wiegert and Payne suffered knee injuries that cut their respective seasons short.
Texans general manager Rick Smith discussed the transactions in a statement released today by the team.

“We made some difficult decisions today in releasing these three veteran players," Smith said. "We appreciate the contributions that each made to our football team, organization and community."

I wonder if Marv would think about it. I'd rather have Moulds more than Price. :up:

[SquishDaFish]

Why not bring him back as a #2?

[Italian Stallion]

I was just thinking that. wow how pissed would all of us be watching Brady throw a TD to Moulds to beat us at home for a playoff spot


wow im pissed right now...hasen't even happened yet and I'm already pissed

[Carlton Bailey]

I'd sign him. He's better than any receiver here except Evans, and he'd come cheap.

Ohh yeah it's coming. And unless JP gets run over by a bus the answer is that it will never, ever, happen.

[raphael120]

dammit moulds, whyd u have to be an egotistical dick and leave the team...him and evans with Losman gunnin wouldve been awesome...

[justasportsfan]

Why not bring him back as a #2?I wouldn't mind that for the right price.

Three minutes. Billinif05 won the prize!!

[justasportsfan]

dammit moulds, whyd u have to be an egotistical dick and leave the team......

I guess he had the same complaints we had about Donahoe and Mularkey. Pat Williams said if Marv was running the show, he'd still be a bill. Wonder if Moulds feels the same way.

[HHURRICANE]

I wouldn't mind that for the right price.

We better keep Holcomb because he's the only QB that he catches balls from.

Me to id take Moulds back in a heart beat.

[justasportsfan]

We better keep Holcomb because he's the only QB that he catches balls from. not true. JP wasn't ready and that didn't put the team in a position to win . that was Eric's beef with TD and Boolarkey. It's wasn't personal with JP. We've been through this already.

Let's put aside the blow up Eric had towards a TD led FO. You can't tell me he's not better than anyone we have at no. 2. He'll make this wr corps better in a heartbeat and we can use our draft picks on someone other position other than a wr.

I want Moulds back

Actually Marv was the GM when Moulds refused any kind of paycut or restructure that would lessen his 2006 salary. He basically did a powerplay that left Levy with no alternative but to trade him.
To Moulds' advantage, this is such a weak FA class that there will definitely be a team that overpays him by at least a couple of million. Curtis and Stallworth head this class, and that aint saying all that much.
Personally, I'd love to see Moulds come back to Buffalo. Not only is he definitely better than any other WR outside of Evans we had, but coming back "home" so to speak would go a long way towards cleaning up his legacy here.

If the stuff behind the scenes we dont know about didnt get too personal last year, I'd hope maybe marv reaches out to him. FOr a decent price, it is POSSIBLE to happen.

TO do it though, it would cost a lot. Because not only would we have to sign MOulds, we'd end up cutting either Reed or Price as their contracts would be ridiculously high for a #4 WR. marv overpaid for both of them last year and gave them each $2 million bonuses, so to cut one would instantly count $1.5 million against the cap, on top of whatever Moulds' salary.

Assuming (safely I think) MOulds doesnt come back to Buffalo, I really hope he doesnt go to either New England or the Jets, as that would really suck to see him use up newly annoited start Ashton Youboty like a rag doll.

[DynaPaul]

I heard from a rich friend that Moulds said he'd only play for another contender like the Lions, Raiders, or Browns.

[Mitchy moo]

Woo-hoo you can get those Moulds bar rag jersey's shined right up now.
