This just doesn't make alot of sense to me. You have a player that wants to be set free and a team that wants to keep him but not at his current price. Is Moulds technically Bills property and the Bills are trying to bid him out for trade bait to other teams? Is this a draft issue where the Bills can combine Moulds with their 8th pick & move the Bills up the drafting board?
Clumpy, If we do trade him what is our effective cap hit if someone takes over his contract?
Thanks in advance.
Moulds wants his release
Talks break down, but Bills say they're determined to hang on to receiver

(March 14, 2006) — Eric Moulds wants out of Buffalo.
The team's second all-time leading receiver, who has been asked to take a substantial cut in pay, wants the team to release him from the final two years of his contract so he can sign with another team before free agency gets too old.
"Let him go, it's only fair," Greg Johnson, Moulds' personal adviser, said Monday after conferencing with his frustrated client. "If they're not going to pay what we feel is fair-market value, he should be allowed to go somewhere where he could maybe get it."
Moulds is scheduled to count $10.8 million against the salary cap for 2006 and he's due to earn $7.1 in salary and bonus. That's apparently still too rich for the Bills despite an increase in salary cap space by $7.5 million thanks to last week's new NFL labor agreement. General manager Marv Levy, however, said the team's position with Moulds hasn't changed and he still expected dialogue to occur.
"Our intention remains to keep Eric as a part of our team," Levy said
