    Moulds

    Just curious - How much longer does Moulds have on his contract, or until it becomes backlogged and the Bills are forced to release him due to the cap?

    If it is within the next 2 years, I could definitely see the Bills going WR in rnd 1. That would leave the Bills with Reed/Rookie as the two starting WRs post-Moulds.

    I think that Moulds has 2 years left on his contract. Oddly enough, when Marvin Harrison's deal (his contract ends next year) gets put together and excepted, we should get a better idea of what Moulds might be expecting as compensation.

    Polian will have his hands full next year. After that monster contract with Manning, he has to clear cap space for both Edgerrin James and Marvin Harrison next season. My guess is that one of them find themselves out of Indy after next season.

        Moulds:

        2004 Cap - $7.495M/$4.245M Base Salary
        2005 Cap - $8.775M/$5.5M Base Salary
        2006 Cap - $9.189M/$6.089M Base Salary

        His Bonus Amortization is only $2M per season, so releasing him would lead to a large cap savings in the future. Of course, releasing him would probably also mean losing one of the best WR in the NFL and one of the Bills best players.

        One would think Buffalo will want to revisit this contract in the next year or two, given how high his cap numbers is escalating. His situation isn't unlike what the Pats are going through with Ty Law, who has a huge cap number but a lot of leverage because he is a great player. I would think Moulds would want an extension if the team approached him.

            He counted 15 million agains tthe Colts cap last year- his new deal is actuially quite cap freindly for the first 4 years or so.

            This year it's under 9 million - The colts will keep Harrison, Edge is a different story depending on his health

              I don't know the WRs in the draft very well, other than the top 5 or so being awesome. Which one of these top guys would be the best compliment to Reed's slot-style?

                    OK- after reading this- I'll lean toward drafting a WR at #13

                        I don't think Moulds will walk. He offered to take a big paycut just to keep Peerless Price around... and he could've went anywhere during his last contract talks, he chose to stay in B'LO.

                        Moulds doesn't strike me as the money-hungry type.

                          He can't "walk" anywhere. He is under contract through 2006. I see a major restructure next year that will make him a Bill for life.

                            Moulds is still a top reciver and even though he is getting up there in years he NEEDS to be a Buffalo Bill for LIFE!
