Why is it hilarious.....?

Moulds is worth a 3rd....but instead of having a locker room cancer that he had become, we got rid of him.....



I'll be pissed if its for a 5th....which it hasn't been reported yet by anyone but hiljack 108 Texans radio.....

so when the deal is official i'll worry

Yup. Make yourself at home, bud! Just make sure your points are thorough and you can back up what you say with facts. Hehe. Some people have yet to figure that one out.

Go Texans!

P.S. - Do we have Moulds, or is the compensation still needing to be dealt with? I havent seen any solid updates as of yet. But that may be because I just got home. :rolleyes:

One hour ago you told us you were about to let him go for free, make up your mind now will ya ? :)

Levy had to take it he had no better offers. That's why I would have been screaming foul if we had caved to the 4th. They could get a really good player there in the 5th so I don't see why they're so upset. It's a lot better than nothing.
 
I hope it is only our 5th round pick. That is a little hard to swallow when guys like Keyshawn get cut and it looks like he gets the same money and the Panthers don't give up anything in terms of picks.

This is something that had to be done, and we did overpay a little with even a 5th round pick because they were going to cut Moulds anyway. We paid a premium to make sure he came to Houston.

Let's at least understand that.

Good move by the Front Office but overpaid a little. As long as he delivers with the same the stats as with Buffalo, everything should work out just fine.
 
this is a great trade for us if it is indeed a 5th round pick...moulds has gotten a bad rep this past season...he is a team player...he is a good receiver...i hope him and aj start meeting with carr to get some chemistry flowing with them
 
Jags,Titans, Colts, not one of those clubs is liking this signing. :crying:

I feel good for all you Texan Fans. Moulds will make you proud.
I like Moulds and like I said before, I've watched him at close range for ten years. He keeps himself in top physical condition and has a lot left in the tank.

If you got him for a 5th, well....good for you, if it was your 4th, you still got a bargain. even your high 4th. Maybe we swapped 4ths and you gave your 5th.

Even just a 5th can make a good gaurd prospect or fullback.

So, I wish you all well and will keep an eye on how things turn out with Moulds in Texan's colors.

Hope we meet in the playoffs.

Later :thumbup
 
Man, we finally got some competent talent on the offensive side of the ball.

I think we are gonna be competing a whole lot sooner than some people would like to believe.

Moulds for a 5th round pick

So Bills fans, which team has all the leverage? lol

Exactly, they were going to cut the guy anyway.

And if they bumped us from our 5th to our 4th, it just seems like we are driving the market instead of paying the market.

No one else was really interested until he got cut.
 
i really hope its just the 5th.. our 4th is the first pick of the second day.. so you have all night to look at maybe who got passed over.. you know..

Man, if you're upset about dealing a FIFTH ROUND draft choice for Eric FREAKING Moulds, then nothing will make you happy.

The fact that Moulds will get to start working out with the team now vs. June 30th is worth the pick IMHO.

You probably wouldn't want free chips and pie either. Sheesh.
 
philly was interested in him to , i mean come on he must really "like" Aj i mean we were 2-14 last season and i know a better team woulda picked him up. And the fact that he choose to come here, makes me like him a lil more. I CANT WAIT FOR THE SEASON TO START, i'm not usually excited about pre-season but now i am JUST HURRY AUGUST :( !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Dalati on the ticker confirmed it is a 5th rounder that went to Buffalo. Moulds was a little concerned why it was taken so long.

Also, some of those morons on Bills MB said ESPNNews ticker that "picks" were sent to Buffalo.

How OLD is moulds though? I mean seriously. I know he got a 4 year deal but will he play all 4.

Who freaking cares? If he is on the field ONE PLAY he will have provided more than our 2nd round pick bennie joppru

I am not upset, we just need understand the deal. We overpaid a little which is fine.

They were going to cut the guy anyway.

The assumption being he would've signed here if he had been cut.

Yeah, and we pushed on the Buchanon trade last year because Washington was interested, at least that is what we thought.

We were wrong about that and we overpriced ourselves.

Let's understand, they were going to cut the guy. The Panthers got Keyshawn for the same money without giving up a draft pick.

The deal seems okay for a 5th round pick, but not the first pick in the 4th round.

At hs age, and his health, he'll play this year and next for sure. A good maybe for the year after, and just a maybe the year after that.

No, sometimes you just walk away.

The front office has the going rate on the 1st pick of the draft, and it seems pretty high and they are not budging.
 
A Moulds in the hand is worth 2 in the BUSH. I just couldn't resist. I hope they have a press conference with him. It will be interesting to heare what he is thinking and how he feels he will fit in.

He's almost a year younger than Harrison.

He's FIVE years younger than Jimmy Smith

He's three years younger than Rod Smith

He's three years younger than Keenan McCardell

The WR position is a entirely different when it comes to age. For the most part they don't take big hits or alot of contact compared to other players and can play well into their late 30's. Its not like we are asking Moulds to be our #1 WR. We are asking him to be our #2.

I expect Moulds to be a great signing and more than Solid over the next 4 years.

Rod Smith played under Kubiak and Kubiak was well aware of his age.

Moulds is younger and more athletic than Smith, age really isn't a issue in this signing. Moulds played in a system that didn't even know who the starting QB was and still managed 80 grabs and almost a 1000 yards, he is going to be more than qualified to hold down the #2 spot over the next 4 years.
 
If Moulds was cut, at his age he might of gone to the Eagles or another contender for less money to get a shot at the Championship. Hell, he was slavering in the news about playing with McNabb a week ago.
And your brass paid more than others might of just to sweaten the pot for that reason.
So why the sour grapes over giving up a 5th from some here, nothing was garaunteed outside a closed deal between the teams.

It's the same on the Bills board, lots of kids out of school bitching they should of got a 3rd or 4th and not looking at the possability of him walking away for nothing.

If it wasn't a good deal for both teams I doubt it would have gone down to begin with.

I agree, and he blocks too. Your gain is Buffalo's loss. He's never had consistancy behind centre and he's 2nd to Andre Reed on the Bills all times receiver yards total. And Kelly was throwing to Reed.

Your kidding me?

Are you famaliar with the Buchanon trade with the Raiders last year?

I believe we gave up our 2nd and 3rd round picks for that guy and he didn't even start the whole year.

5th round pick is cool, still overpaid, but it can easily work to our favor.

Why do you think we overpaid, a 5th round pick for this guy is nothing.

As far as 14mil. over the next 4 years, if we let this guy hit the open market he would of comanded ALOT more money. This is a great deal on our part.

So you walk away and you've just struck out on your 3rd candidate to be your #2 receiver this offseason. All for a 5th round prospect who could be good or who could be sweeping floors four seasons from now.

Yeah, I think a 5th round pick is good. I think the Texans got a good deal and so did the Bills.
And I don't give a rat's bum about the Buchanon trade, it has nothing to do with this. Every team makes mistakes, this isn't one of them by either side.
 
If Moulds hit the open market then he'd be less likely to be a Texan and he'd end up costing a little bit more, IMO.

Geez, the team just turned their 5th and 7th rounders into legitimate #2 and #3 receivers. Why are we looking for the dark lining on the silver cloud?
 
All around I think we got a great bargain in Moulds.

We obviously did a great job with the trade, making the Bills only take a 5th rounder instead of a 4th. I think we did a good contract with him also considering he is a great player.
 
If Moulds wanted more money or wanted to play somewhere else, he wouldn't have signed a reduced contract.

The Bills would have cut him and he would have been a free agent.

So that tells me he wants to be in Houston because he preferred that than testing the free agent market.

I am not looking for a dark lining.

It's like playing poker or buying a car/house.

We paid a little extra. I don't see a problem with that here with a 5th round pick. He will probably make up for it.

But, you have to understand when you do overpay. Generally, in these situations, the guy gets cut.
