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!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

$2.75 million per touchdown, or $13,480 per yard....
Re: $2.75 million per touchdown, or $13,480 per yard....
It is not a tad above the going rate on teams with terrible offenses and that is the kind of team he was on. And Moulds will not be getting $11M - that is the Cap Hit which is different because earlier years when he took smaller salaries bonus was mostly what he got.
Re: $2.75 million per touchdown, or $13,480 per yard....
I said that's what it would cost AGAINST THE CAP. Please don't become one of those people who criticize a post without bothering to read the whole thing first.
Re: $2.75 million per touchdown, or $13,480 per yard....
I did read it but saying against the cap does not mean anything.
It is like saying Moulds is a great deal because otherwise we will be paying $6,333,332 for 0 TDs and 0 yards. It is nonsense to judge that way IMO and those other figures are MUCH better.

I don't buy it. That still saves us $5 million, which can easily get a receiver that will put up 4 TDs and 816 yards with plenty left over.
Re: $2.75 million per touchdown, or $13,480 per yard....
A WR is not just TDs and yards - it is blocking, taking best CBs away from play, etc. I think they will extend and blend if they can but until deal is signed who knows. Moulds understands the difference between staying on one team or doing a burnout like Peeless.
Besides supposedly last year's results were due to coaching and coaching changed. Hopefully QBs will be more effective at THROWING the ball and RB will be more effecrive at RUNNING and OL better at BLOCKING hence WR will be better at CATCHING.
Re: $2.75 million per touchdown, or $13,480 per yard....
I think it's way to early to worry about how much per catch or his cap figure or anything else when it comes to Moulds. If you read the artilce in the paper it said that the Bills haven't even talked to him. There is ALOT to get settled here. Does Eric want to play here, is he willing to work with J.P. if he is named the started, how much of a pay cut is he willing to take, is it worth restructuring him again at his age, can we fill his spot with someone else at alot less money, and probably something I'm forgetting. We will just have to wait to see how this all plays out.
Re: $2.75 million per touchdown, or $13,480 per yard....
It's simple: If Eric restructures at a level acceptable to the Bills, he'll be back. If not, he's gone.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

But is it enough to get a WR capable fo getting 4 TD's and 816 yards on the Bills pitiful offense ??
EM's ability may be the sole reason his numbers were as good as they were. A lesser WR would of gained considerably less.
EM needs ot restructure, but don't believe for a minute there is a worthwhile replacement readily available that makes more sense then adding FA OL and DL

Moulds is going on 33 and well on the downside of his career. He is about a 3-4 mill per WR, not a base of 7 and a cap of 11.
the problem is restructuring him puts us in cap problems later on.

I don't think it's that simple! If after they talk and he is unwilling to support J.P. then I think there is a chance he is gone. The other thing is what Ice said if we restructure him it just adds to the cap problem later. I would love to see Eric back, but if he is going to be a problem in the locker room or cause the team cap problems later, maybe it's time to cut losses. This team is a couple of years away from being a contender again and we don't want to get caught in cap hell again by redoing contracts on older players. That what got us in trouble under J. Butler and we have been paying for it ever since! I would rather eat his dead cap this year, it still gives us more towards the cap and we could use that money to make a serious run at a couple of elite linemen.
