This is what the BILLS should do with Eric Moulds new contract

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

When the BILLS restructure Eric Moulds new contract they should set aside enough money to re-sign Pat Williams or Jennings or maybe both.

Only if Moulds is willing to take a big enough pay-cut (which I doubt).

[Mudflap1]

There probably won't be enough money from the restructuring to re-sign both, but I'm sure the money they free up will go directly towards that.

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

Screw Jennings!

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.

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

[The King]

If you want him out you trade him you dont cut Eric Moulds.

[mybills]

Why would they want him out?

So if they cut him outright, would they be able to sign both Jennings and Williams ?

If you answer "yes" to this question then I want him gone because I would rather have the other two over Moulds.

If it would only be a one for one deal than I would keep moulds.

[mybills]

Williams and Moulds aren't always injured like Jennings.

No kidding. And neither play left tackle either.

Bills can find a way to re-sign both Jennings & Williams. The way will include re-working Moulds' contract. It would be a mistake to cut Moulds

Trade at any time of the season has the same cap ramifications as releasing him prior to June 1st. Saves $4.6 million on 2005 cap
