Eric Moulds likes Buffalo, and he wants to win.
He took care of the former desire and hopes he improved his chances of the latter Friday when he agreed to a contract extension with the Buffalo Bills.
The agreement is for three years and keeps Moulds under contract through 2007. His old pact was to run out in 2006, but his salary cap numbers were going to be costly in 2005 and exorbitant in 2006.
The deal will give Moulds the same amount of money he was due to make in 2005. It includes a $5 million bonus and a $1.5 million base salary. Under the old deal he was going to get a $5.5 million base and a $1 million roster bonus. Because the bonus gets spread out for the life of the contract, his cap cost is expected to drop from $8.6 million to $5.16 million, a savings of $3.4 million to the Bills' player budget for 2005.
