should take a pay cut so he can have the pleasure of playing in lovely Buffalo. The team was 5-11 and imploded. We have no real QB. A new mediocre coach along with a first time GM.

What if you got a new boss with mediocre reviews and he came to you and said, gee, wouldn't it be nice if you finished your career here for 20% less money?

I think the Bills cut Adams, Milloy, and Campbell to have enough $$ to keep Moulds if they can't restructure.

Moulds has earned the right to play hardball, and I can't say I blame him. He's been a good player, and however this works out, I wish him well. I don't understand everyone saying F Moulds.

i hope they figure out a way to keep him because hes still a very good player but theres no question hes not the quite same threat he was even a year ago and will continue to regress every year. that doesnt mean i dont want him, that just means i dont want him at his current salary

First off Moulds is over the hill. He can't beat single coverage and drops tons of passes now. he is a locker room problem and this past year, a bad example to the younger players.

The ONLY reason marv might be trying to keep him is for sentimental reasons. That is Bad GM'ing.

Cut moulds, move on.

And the only thing moulds has 'earned' was two possible trips to jail that the Bills bailed him out of and a suspension last year.

The Bills are almost 10 million under the cap now, if they cut Moulds they would be like 15 million under the cap They cant afford TO? Yeah sure.

Ummm... TO is not going to play for Buffalo. Move on to your next wishful dream.

He's a big market receiver and Buffalo is a small market town. There is no way they need to take on that headache of a player. Did you not see what he did to Philly and San Fran? He destroyed those teams from the inside out.

He had several drops from Holcomb. I posted the stats yesterday, for all you guys *****ing you ignore fact. In almost every game JP played in (Minus miami because moulds thew a fit like a little ***** and pulled himself and NE Where he was suspended) Eric caught the most balls when JP was in there. Too bad he dropped many many more like 3rd down conversions, trying to catch with one hand instead of two etc.

Moulds doesn't have magic. He can't get open against bump and run one on one coverage anymore except the occasional quick slant. The only time he is open is when a team plays pure zone. He isn't worth the money and isn't worth being the #1 WR anymore.

How do you know TOs problems outside of Buffalo are not a thing of the past? Do you really think he is going to cause problems again this late in his career with all the things that happened to him last year?

Most likely his contract is going to have something in it about his attitude.

What TO said about Jeff Garcia and McNabb means nothing to Buffalo. Fresh start, fresh attitude.

Like I've said before, if TO put up 1300 yards and 13 TDs in a Bills uniform, no one in Buffalo would care that he called Garcia a *** and Brett Farve a better QB then McNabb.

This is stupid. Over the years he's had lot's of QB's throwing to him, and each time he's had worse QB's to work with. He's not past his prime and he's not washed up. PERIOD. Get a friggin QB that can work with him (whether it's with the Bills or elsewhere) and he'll shine again.

Yes you can.

He had JP Losman and Kelly Holcomb throwing to him last year and he still had a outstanding year considering. And thats with missing amost 2 games.

If Holcomb started and finished the whole year last year, Moulds would of had close to 100 rec. and 9 TDs.

Great receivers have great years regardless of the QB for the most part. If Moulds was 27 or 28 I could see wanting to keep him and chalk it ENTIRELY up to the QB but that isn't the case.

It is just reality. I didnt say he was washed up. I am saying he is regressing and will continue to regress as EVERY player in NFL history does as they get older. If Moulds gets in the right situation he will have a good year, but obviously this isn't the situation. I am not upset with Moulds for not taking a cut because he has put in good time with us and deserves his salary but this the NFL.

He had a QB in Kelly that wouldn't throw to him because Moulds was a punk his rookie year that wouldn't try. He had a QB in Bledsoe the forced the ball moreso than he should to Moulds and moulds still *****ed. Hell even said we could dump Bledsoe because JP Was ready.

funny, evans didn't seem to have any trouble catching passes from JP.

moulds has made it clear that he's not going to give it his all unless things are done his way. he's obviously frustrated with the way his career has gone in buffalo and who can really blame him?

he's not going be happy here, not when we're about to clean the slate and "start over" once again. he's not going to want to go through all that again and isn't going to be a "team player".

it would be better for the team, and for him personally to let let him go and boost his end of career stats somewhere else while we focus on getting our ***** together here.

There a BIG difference in your example for the average worker and a pro football players salary. The other problem with this example is that Eric is not going to get more than he would get if he took the pay cut here. No way he makes $5 million for someone else. As far as no real QB is concerned, they wee saying the samething about Drew Brees 3 years ago, then SD brought in a RB, and got some line help. The rest is history. Can't argue with your statement about the coach, however the part about first time GM, wasn't Polin a first time GM when he got here and isn't there alot of first time GM's with playoff teams. Also he was here when Polin was GM and they are friends so he can pick his brain.

I think they were cut cause Adams was not the type of player Marv wants, Milloy is older than dirt and Campbell was hurt part of every season here and we drafted Everrett last year.

How has he earn a right to play hardball? Do you think he will ever be mentioned with the great WR in the NFL? You are right when you say he has been a good player, but just good. I am old school as far as what he pulled last year, players paly coaches coach. You don't refuse to play cause you don't like your roll in that weeks game plan. If your the decoy for that week except it, if you the main target good. I don't wish him anything bad, but like I have said about all Bills that leave for another team, bye bye and I won't follow him anymore.

Moulds is past his prime for sure, beyond that his behavior last year was inexcuseable. Time to move on and put his 5 million to good use elsewhere. It is simply too much money to pay an older receiver with an attitude problem. Stop being nostalgic.

1) He's regressing. Enough with not having a real qb or good coaches. The guy is on the decline, physically. Old man bruce over at St.Louis has averaged better ypc than Moulds. That's proof he's on the decline.

2) His disrespect of his young qb by trying to form a clique to go against him was unwarranted. Add in all the past spitting incidents against opposing players. What in the devil is that?

Therefore, thanks for all you've done moulds, but see ya later. You burned your bridges with some of the fans.

Mybills, I think you are letting your like of Moulds get in the way of facts here. He is a 10 yea vet, with all that wear and tear on his body. You can't deny that he just by the number of years that he has lost a step. Your right to think that Marv believes he still has some value or they wouldn't be trying to keep him. BUT Marv also knows he is not worth 10 mil a year, that just doesn't make sense for a 10 year vet. Like I said on the other post, he isn't even worth 5 mil a year and he won't even get that if the Bills cut him and he goes to another team. As far as having a good QB Bledsoe had everything a WR wanted and his numbers still went down, mostly do to age. What has to happen for any WR to do well is have a QB who has time to throw the ball, keeping Eric at 10 mil a year makes very little sense to me, when our o line is so bad! If Moulds won't take a pay cut, just for the sake of the team we can't afford to keep him. The money we save could be better spent to make upgrades to the team.

This isn't about loyalty or lovely Buffalo. It's about business. IMO Moulds should take the cut not for any other reason than because it is in his interest to do so. Moulds salary for 2006 is scheduled to be over 6m. That is excessive no matter how you slice it. Compare it to the salary of Keyshawn Johnson, another productive but aging vet who will earn 1.5m in 2006. It just doesn't wash.

Moulds seems to be begging for his release. You know what they say about being careful what you wish for. If the CBA is NOT extended Moulds could very easily be looking at a 1 or 2 year offer at maybe a quarter what he was scheduled to earn this year in Buffalo. Even if the CBA is extended Moulds will find the chance to make the most money this year is no doubt....in lovely Buffalo.

For me it has to do with whats BEST for the Bills and an aging vet making 10 mil a year IS NOT BEST for the Bills! I would say this about any former Bill. I also did not like what he did last year, I will admit that. I just don't think a leader of a team sport does what he did in the public's eye. He should have handle any problems with the coach in private and acted like a true leader in public. That's management 101. Never air problems in public and never yell at a employee in front of othe workers. I think that if Farve is making this type of money for everything he has done for that orginization, needs to be cut, when you look at his PRODUCTION over the last 2 years

This isn't about loyalty or lovely Buffalo. It's about business. IMO Moulds should take the cut not for any other reason than because it is in his interest to do so. Moulds salary for 2006 is scheduled to be over 6m. That is excessive no matter how you slice it. Compare it to the salary of Keyshawn Johnson, another productive but aging vet who will earn 1.5m in 2006. It just doesn't wash.

Moulds seems to be begging for his release. You know what they say about being careful what you wish for. If the CBA is NOT extended Moulds could very easily be looking at a 1 or 2 year offer at maybe a quarter what he was scheduled to earn this year in Buffalo. Even if the CBA is extended Moulds will find the chance to make the most money this year is no doubt....in lovely Buffalo.

Moulds doesn't really owe Buffalo anything.

He can stay at the current salary, take a lowball offer from Marv, or take his chances on the market. Obviously, he thinks he can do better on the open market than what Marv is offering. I'm sure Philly, Atlanta, Green Bay, among others would have interest in EM.

What's silly to me is people who don't read entire posts. Notice the words "most" in there. There are a select few who seem to have logical and solid thinking regarding the issue. The others seem to be saying "F Moulds" just to argue.

Just like your statement here:

"Right. Because it was such a great idea staying with that other guy instead of keeping Flutie."

First we don't need to beat this horse to dead, but the year we cut the mullet and he was the starter for the year he was 5-11 with 9 losses in a row to end the season.

SO be careful when you start throwing out words like "logical and solid thinking".

should take a pay cut so he can have the pleasure of playing in lovely Buffalo. The team was 5-11 and imploded. We have no real QB. A new mediocre coach along with a first time GM.

What if you got a new boss with mediocre reviews and he came to you and said, gee, wouldn't it be nice if you finished your career here for 20% less money?

I think the Bills cut Adams, Milloy, and Campbell to have enough $$ to keep Moulds if they can't restructure.

Moulds has earned the right to play hardball, and I can't say I blame him. He's been a good player, and however this works out, I wish him well. I don't understand everyone saying F Moulds.

I agree in theory. But if he's truly been asked to take only 20% less, then he'd be stupid not to do it. There's no guarantee he'll get more than a couple million on the free market. And he has to think about finishing his career in buffalo so he can forever be a pitch man for local businesses. There's a real opportunity that he'd make back that 20% then some.

I personally don't care if he returns or not anymore. He's my favorite player on the squad, but I can't say I disagree that he's going to be wayyy overpaid next season. It would probably be a major blow to our receiving corps, but hopefully Evans could step it up in his place.

Neither one of them were the right choice, however in your go to go forward the LOGICAL choice is the young guy with the stronger arm and fresher legs, I think that's what we a saying with Moulds he is by age alone not worth 10 mil a yea, when this team needs so much to become comtetitive again. The weekness on that team with Johnson or Flutie is the same weakness now o line and we can do a lot to fix it with an extra 5 mil.

This is all I'm saying Bam, As far as a blow to the WR corps, if you give the QB more time to throw ie better line, the WR will do better along with the running game.

I think your just tired. The big difference here is Johnson was given time to show he wasn't NFL quality, JP hasn't. Do you really think if Rothlisburger was on this team behind this line he would have the same numbers and wins he has with Pittsburg, dought it! If you don't realize that the o line in the NFL is the main reason a team, QB, WR, and RB are successful then there is no point in this debate. Hell we should just draft a TE in the first round.

Losman progressed through the 8 games he has played. You aren't suggesting that you can already form an opinion that JP is a bust on 8 games are you?

EE Buffalo's "lowball offer" is by NFLPA rules no more than a 30% cut in pay. That comes out to a MINIMUM salary of $4.26M. GB would not want Moulds. They are in full rebuilding mode and both Driver and Walker are now better players than Moulds. I think Philly uses a #1 on a receiver. Atlanta has no need for Moulds- they have two #1's at WR. The market isn't what you apparently think it will be for EMo. He'll have offers but nothing huge. David Givens will get a bigger contract than Moulds. Moulds is rolling the dice in a big way here. You have to give Buffalo credit for going the extra mile to bring him back. If you seriously think asking Moulds to take a cut on a 6m salary is "low balling" him, well, that's just funny.

What if your production at work has went down every year and you just walked out on an important job one day and said you didn't have to listen to your boss?

You can't compare these whiny athletes to the real working force. This is all part of the NFL.

He can take the paycut and make 4+ million with us next season or he can leave and make 3 million at the most.

After he quit on his team in the Miami game I don't wanna ever see his face around here again.

He thinks this is his team. No player is bigger then the franchise.

Mybills,Your right to think that Marv believes he still has some value or they wouldn't be trying to keep him. BUT Marv also knows he is not worth 10 mil a year.
No chit dick tracey. I said he's helped the team before, and people told me to shut up. I said I'd take a little less $ if I were him, and people only saw the part where I said he's not washed up. I said Marv would have let him go if he thought he was washed up, and you post something I already know, re the pay cut. I'm not being nostalgic about Moulds. I agree with EE, that there's no reason to say F Moulds. I also agree with BAM, that NOBODY SEEMS TO READ the ENTIRE post that someone posts.
btw, for everyone who says he's "over the hill" tell that to Jerry Rice. :;

Moulds didn't give up in the Miami game. The Bills coaches proved for the whole world to see, that they were completely incompetent. Disgraceful playcalling was the hallmark of the Mularky era.

I didn't give up on Moulds after that game, I gave up on Mularky. Ironically he quit Buffalo, went to Miami and is making even more money now.

On the Brightside, if Moulds is released, you know he won't go play for that moron Mularkey in Miami. God, he was such a horrible head coach.
