All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

This is what the BILLS should do with Eric Moulds new contract
Depends on how the Bills want to structure his new deal. He will not accept a pay cut and doesn't deserve to be asked to take one. He will likely sign a 3 yr extension which would tie him to the Bills through 2009 (starting in 2005, signing bonuses can only be amortized for 5 yrs). He won't see the end of the deal, but the key will be up front $$$. He's scheduled to actually make $5.5 million salary, $1 million reporting bonus, and $100,000 workout bonus. (His cap number is higher because of previously paid signing bonus amortization). That's $6.6 million he'll pay this season. As long as the Bills work out a deal that gives him at least $6.6 million (likely more) in his pocket in 2005 season, it will get done. I expect a new deal will save around $2.5 million on both the 2005 & 2006 caps
I think its a win win situation if they can get Moulds to restructure. He will put the team first which will go over well with the fans, and we can bring his cap figure down a bit. So both him and the Bills win in this situation although as of right now I see Moulds putting himself first.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
What if they cut Moulds outright, how much money would they save, how much of a cap hit would they take, would they have enough to sign Jennings and/or Williams ?
Is this doable ? You out there Clump ?

It's doable, but doubtful that it happens. Moulds is still an integral part of the offense.
Release him before June 1st saves $4.6 million on 2005 and over $9 million on 2006 cap
If you want him out you trade him you dont cut Eric Moulds.
