Texans to release Moulds/Moulds' comments

Just heard on 790 that he was about to be released. Didn't see anything other than in the Seth Payne thread. Kinda surprising really, and it means that we are in now in the hunt for a WR2.
 
wow...that's a bummer. I like him as a player, a leader, and a personality. Too bad if it's true.
 
Could this open the door for Ted Ginn Jr. at 8?

Big name
Excitement
Reggie Bush-like
Fills 3 holes on the team

Maybe...

please god no- we'd be much smarter to go d-line, landry at #8 and one of the quality wr's like bowe or jarret who'll fall to #39
 
Ok, that makes no sense at all. Watch, he will go somewhere else and have a very productive year.

Agreed....

This is sad news. He may have not had a stellar year, but DB's respect his presence on the field and they sure let up for AJ to get a lot of action this year. I would love to see Moulds in a Texans uni next year, but football is a business, and whatever is good for Kubiak is good for me.
 
They're also taking Moulds' release to mean that Carr won't be here either. I don't quite see the connection myself.
 
Moulds release is a bit surprising. I think he had a big effect on AJ but Eric clearly didn't play like he had in years past up in Buffalo. I have to say I'm a bit puzzled by some of these moves. Perhaps the Texans are looking to go after Bennett or Stallworth when FA begins. Or as some have suggested perhaps they're setting their sights on taking a receiver in the draft like Bowe out of LSU.
 
I told everyone Rod Ryan was cursed. He has them on his morning show and either they get hurt or has a crappy season. Wong, Babin, Moulds...all may get there walking papers at some point this season.
 
so how much is this going to cost us in terms of dead money?

Is there a record for amount of dead money that the Texans are nearing?
 
I kinda actually like the move.

It lessens the chance that Mathis will be cut, and it allows us to get a more athletic reciever out there...

besides, he probably asked to get cut.

why?? old guys who've been unproductive on the field
kubiak himself said a few weeks ago that we need more pass rush and playmakers. both these moves are in line with that theory

$3.75 million

Moulds picked up $6 million ($5 million bonus, $1 million salary) for his 1 season with the Texans. Good luck finding that kind of $$$ somewhere else, Eric.
 
I don't really see an upside myself for two reasons.

1. Dead money. I'm not sure how much, but I think he had a 3 year contract.
2. We gave up a draft pick for him and have nothing to show for it now.

Moulds probably wanted out because he wasn't getting the ball. That's on the QB for not being able to spread the ball around.

The football outsider guys actually said that they were surprised in the improvement in his production from Buffalo to the Texans.

First two thirds of the season, he was doing okay when he got the ball. His catch percentage was huge. No receiver could have been terribly happy with the offense the last third of the season.

I don't remember the game, but I think it was a preseason or early season game where they threw it deep to Moulds, and he looked a step big and slow.

That was the Denver preseason game.

I know we talked about Moulds in a previous thread, how his numbers dipped from the Raiders game through the end of the season. The Raiders game was also where the Texans passing game went from average/mediocre to nonexistent. That was also the game where Carr received a concussion (according to his brother) and was left in the game.

Wonder how much Smoot's going to be fetching. He'd be nice opposite Dunta.

Washington is said to be very interested in him & would like for him to return. I think we could get him at a decent price provided that Snyder & the Redskins are more concerned with nabbing London Fletcher.
 
add #2 WR to the list of needs.

though like someone else said, i'd love to see Kevin Curtis in deep steel blue...
