Eric Moulds is just as big an upgrade over our receivers as Pace was over our lineman.

jerek said:I think that is somewhat exaggerated though I agree that he could prove a substantial upgrade. Just odd to see so many posts in a single thread over a 10 year vet who has played a solid but relatively unspectacular career to this point, or is he better than I am giving him credit for?
I dunno, I would love to see a legit #2 across from Andre, but I guess I feel we have a young core with a lot of potential, so I am not as hot to get Moulds as a lot of people are, especially top dollar for a ten year vet. This is not one of those things I feel very strongly about either way, just an observation, that's all.
dat_boy_yec said:I wonder what it would be like if we didn't get Moulds and made a run at J. Walker. You think it would get a bigger thread?

bigTEXan8 said:That makes me excited for the mere fact that he could be a Texan. So this is what I'm thinkin'...AJ, Moulds, Walter, Armstrong/Mathis, that'll be a nice little core of WRs...JM![]()
does anybody feel this is a bad indication of how things are going right now
Wolfiegrrl said:I would rather see us use Walters and Armstrong to earn the respect of the opposing defense. To me, a guy like Moulds would only blow up in our face much like the T.O issue but smaller scale. Moulds has always been a me-first kind of guy. We really need to focus on getting guys in here that have the team-first mentality. Just my![]()
aj. said:Maybe it's just me but if the Eagles are willing to pay anywhere near the asking price of 5 per, why in the world would he want to come here unless the Texans lose their minds with the coin? This appears to be a leverage deal on Moulds' agent's part. He's looking for a golden parachute and/or a sucker.
I'd love to have the guy here, but at the right price.
stevo3883 said:i was under the impression he doesn't have much of a choice. if the texans are offering a 4th and the eagles a 5th, I'm pretty sure he's ours no question.
kiwitexansfan said:Moulds is the one trying to swing the trade before he gets released... part of any trade deal that is sorted out will be Moulds getting a new contract.. No on is going to pay him S7.1m.... so it is pretty much entirely his call.
aj. said:He's looking for a golden parachute and/or a sucker.
O.G. said:I would also believe that in Philly there will be greater expectations for Moulds to come in an succeed much in the same retrospect as TO did. 90 catches, 1100-1200 yds with 9 TD's. Plus, Philly's fan bases is alittle less forgiving if he doesn't meet those expectations.
stevo3883 said:exactly. we can have a guy with like 900 career receptions, or 19.

TexansTrueFan said:i will be happy if we get moulds but not dissapointed if we dont. He'd be nice to have but we can live without him IMO
stevo3883 said:i understand that, but if we're offering a 4th & the eagles a 5th, and we're both offering around the same cash, why would the bills choose to trade him for a lower return?

aj. said:You're missing one small detail -- actually a big one (the new contract).
Moulds and his agent will follow the money. If the Texans offer a 4th to Buffalo, and a new three year deal to Moulds worth 15 million; while the Eagles offer a 5th to Buffalo, and a three year deal to Moulds worth 18 million, I'm sure that Moulds' agent will convince Buffalo that settling for a 5th instead of a 4th is a far cry better than the 7+ million that the Bills would have to pay him in a few months. Plus, a 5th rounder is better than nothing, which is exactly what the Bills would get for Moulds if they don't trade him and simply release him before his bonus is due.
johnny_tlmn said:Moulds would be interested in playing for Houston, even though the Texans are coming off an NFL-worst 2-14 finish and haven't had a winning record in their five seasons.
Houston is close to Moulds' native Mississippi, which would allow his family to see him play more often. Moulds would complement a Texans offense that already has a solid receiver in Andre Johnson and has the opportunity to draft USC running back and Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush with the No. 1 pick in next month's draft. From NFL.com
He's really wantin' to come? Or does Buffalo want our #4 pick or both what do ya'll say?! Screw it lets party.![]()
How bout Price?[[Gary Kubiak]] said:Okay then....Where is Jevon Walker at? Burleson still a FA? Fact is we need pressure off AJ? Rookie WR might have problems demanding extra attention from safeties.![]()
YoungTexanFan said:what kind of geography book are they using???
Mississippi is not that close to Houston at all.
Burleson sign an offer sheet with the Seahawks so he's gone and the Packers say they are not going to trade J. walker.[[Gary Kubiak]] said:Okay then....Where is Jevon Walker at? Burleson still a FA?

johnny_tlmn said:And I imagine we'll get him, plain and simple, he'll help ol' AJ out a lot more than u people think so..really.![]()
outofhnd said:I think they are stalling to see if Philly will match us on the offer. I dont know how much philly can offer him given they signed Darren howard to a crazy deal. Also i think weather more than distance is the reason Moulds mom could see him play in houston, at 5-6 mil a year you cant tell me he can't afford transportation for his family.
Anyhow No telling, Id be willing to bet he does not want to get released, because his value will go way down.
Javon Walker represented by Drew Rosenhaus... Need I say more? The Packers are not gonna be a great team anyway I could see them hold onto him out of sheer spite.
