I flippin' hate it too. But my wife said something a minute ago about April Fools so I couldn't pass it up.. :)
 
I don't have a concern wit Moulds Age. His draft class at WR was very strong now that i look at it. 96 was a year of the WR.

Marvin Harrison, Terrell Owens, Mushin Muhammed, Joe Horn, Keyshawn Johnson, Terry Glenn, Amani Toomer, Eddie Kennison, and Eric Moulds.

4 of those guys are still #1 Receivers.
 
Hats off to Texansfan2002114 and Overalls I was on the eagles MB last night and you guys had them all kinds of upset that was good stuff there best come backs was your 2-14 last year. loved it good job guys.:highfive:
 
I have noticed that the Eagles loved Moulds but when it came out that we have him pending the approval they then thought he was a bum and was to old and a waste of cap space boy how fast they turn and get this they think their group of WR are better than ours thought ya'll get a good laugh out of that no April fools joke.

****! Give them the 4th round pick!!!!:crying:

I concur. A 4th is a great deal for a WR as accomplished as Moulds. Pull the trigger.

(I came up with a great smiley face. Have it praying...I just think it would be funny)
 
i wouldn't mind something like our 4th and 5th for their 5th. I have the feeling their will be something comng back our way other than Moulds considering our 4th will be the first pick of the second day....which is always a big deal.
 
Buffalo has no leverage. They have to trade or release Moulds. We have already reached a contract agreement with Moulds. He wants to come here. Buffalo can either get a 5th round pick for him or get nothing for him. We should not buckle. They will take the 5th if we do not cave in.
 
Yeah, the Eagles could be the wildcard in this. But they are not the Redskins, they wont throw money at people, esspcially those they deem expendable or on the decline. I doubt we hear much from the Eagles, its just a matter of CC ironing out the details. Of course, I have been wrong before...

the fact they have until june 1st until they cut him....after teams draft.....is leverage. no one wants to go into the draft thinking they might still sign an impact player afterwards. it messes up a lot things. the only thing i'm really worried about it moulds agent getting in his head a little bit that he could receive more money if he would just wait until he is cut. which is very likely possible.
 
I seem to recall last year, all of you thinking it was an April Fool's joke when the word got out that the Texans had released Jamie Sharper.

:bowdown:

But we have such a good record with fourths. The only way I'll give up a fourth is if we get theirs.

I think the Texans offered them a 5th round because it is the first pick of the 5th round and that might was well be looked at as a 4th rounder. The 4th rounder to me is like getting a late 3rd rounder. If the Texans were drafting 15-20 then I would say a 4th rounder would be fair, but not here.

Word this week was that Eric Moulds was headed to Houston, but that's not yet a done deal. In his heart, Moulds is hoping that the Eagles change their mind - which isn't likely to happen - and work out a deal with Buffalo to bring the veteran receiver to the City Of Brotherly Love.

I wonder if that's in Moulds' heart or the Eagles heart... :hmmm:

Nothing ot really worry about then, the Eagles FO hardly ever overpays for a FA; especially one fo Moulds' age.

Thats true, but this is the one thing I've worried about. I would of liked to go ahead and get this deal done instead of putting it off a couple of days and leaving the back door open. I will feel a whole lot better once this deal is done.

Having said that, this could just be his agent trying to build a bigger market and more money for his client

I'm ok with waiting. We know we are willing to pay and he wants the money. However I would hate to pay someone that kind of money and him get here and not be happy. Therefore give him the weekend to make sure this is what he wants to do. Play a little poker with the Bills and then get it done on monday when he comes in. If he changes his mind better to know now rather then when he is unhappy and stuck.
 
im sure it is a non issue, but i hope that he gives 100% when we bring him in since he has been saying that he rather be with the iggles
 
I'm not worried at all (just look at my new avatar :)). The Eagles haven't even really attempted to land him and Moulds has shown way more love to the Eagles than they are giving back.

I concur. All in all, they will switch 4th round picks and add the 5th pick. Everyone should be happy. We still get a descent 4th round pick and give up as you called a late 4th round (1st pick in the 5th).
 
Bills fan here, first post. Have to say,as Im sure other Bills fans have said that have posted here Moulds is a very good WR. I have not read all the post and have seen a few stating he'll be a good #2. I think you will find that he'll become your # 1 as the season goes on, he's that good. We hate to see him go, if he does. On that note...

The Bills do not have to trade or release him. He still under contract for 2 more years and even though the Bills dont want to pay him the 7+ million this season, we are around 7-8 million under the cap with his contract atm.

Later....
 
After enjoying the fun on the Eagles boards, I've read through the Bills boards as well. Most fans seem to be sad that Moulds is going to be leaving and enjoyed him. There are a few that wish him nothing but the worst, but you'll find that with any player.

They agree with Eagles fans that the Texans are a joke. Wait until we play. The Texans have done something to improve their non-playoff teams while the Bills and Eagles have done little (IMO).

A lot of fans think the Bills are in the driver's seat and should be able to demand a 3rd and will get it from the Texans. Please god, don't let Casserly take that call.

Some of this might have been mentioned, but I can't possibly keep up with the juggernaut that is this message board.
 
With our drafting history, keep the 4th, give them the 2nd..lol. No, we should be able to get him for the 5th, maybe swaping 4ths or something like that. Anyway, we are about 24-36 hours away from Eric Moulds officially being a Texan!

And only 80 posts away from this thread reaching my total post count...lol

There is no way the Bills will get a 3rd round pick. That didn't even try to ask for one and there isn't a certainty that they will get a 4th for that matter. The Eagles only offered a 6th. If we offer a 5th, that is still better. I do agree with Bills Fan, they don't necessarily have to trade him, They could retain his sevices but the will take alittle of a cap hit and they can't put him on the inactive list like T.O. last year. Disgruntle player doesn't make for unified team. Also add in there, money is the reason he wanted a trade anyway. He would not take a pay cut so I really wouldn't see the logic in giving in and paying him now. IMO.

Hey I would love your second for Moulds :drool:

I agree with you wanting D'Brick. Why you guys would want Bush baffles me. DD is a very capable back and with a decent O-line you'd be close to a playoff team if not barley making it in.
 
He's better than P-Bust, and look what we gave up for him.

So I think E-moulds is definitely worth a 4th round pick at least.

I just don't want to see moulds slip through our fingers cuz Casserly & Co. would only give away a measly 5th rounder.

but, if they can get him for a 5th, even better.

Doma"nick" is a good back when healthy. Good burst for about 20 yards - won't outrun anyone - average blocker at best. Can catch out of the backfield. He missed 5 games due to injury last season and several others prior to that. His injury history is becoming a concern and you can't reasonably expect him to continue at his current touch rate. He's put up some real good numbers but his best is nowhere near what Bush's will be.

Why we would want Bush is obvious. He will be a very good RB - a faster version of Tiki Barber mixed with a young Marshall Faulk who will bulk up to about 210 by the time the season starts, he can line up at WR or RB, can return kickoffs (can you imagine Mathis and Bush on kickoff returns?) and is a very capable blocker in blitz pickup.

If it came down to it, I wouldn't mind swapping 4's for Moulds and giving up the 5. That way, the Bills would have the first pick on Day 2 which is more than fair.
 
A Phili radio station reported that the Texans and Moulds had came up with a deal. Some called BS. Then it started to be confirmed by other sources but that the Texans and Bills were just working out draft picks to go along with the trade--rumor has it that it is between 4-5th. Some people think we are being OPaced in the deal. Lots of people have a hard time posting relevant things in a thread. Various discussions of whether Moulds has enough gas left in the tank and what good value would be for him in the new free agent market. There was a statistical analysis article about how Moulds might not get separation going deep. Eagle fans pick out strange avatars. Is he a #1 or a #2--who cares that is irrevelant. The Chronic reported that there is basically a deal and that Moulds is coming to Houston on Monday. The deal in priniciple is for the Texans to pay Moulds $14 million over four years in a deal that includes a $5 million signing bonus.The Texans staff is at USC for the weekend so we aren't gonna hear anything until Monday prolly. EM's mommy wants to tailgate in her RV with us. (She will find that Texas BBQ is less sugary than Mississippi BBQ). Bills fans will miss Moulds but not at 7 mil a year. Various thread paddings and an April Fools joke. Will EM reduce double teaming on AJ--nah AJ didn't receive much double teams but he will open things up and actually catch balls thrown to him. Boy, them Eagles fans are steamed. Wish it were a done deal--this makes me nervous.
 
Buffalo doesn't want him at the $10 mil price. Moulds and the Texans have agreed in principle to an extension. Buffalo has some leverage but so do the Texans. Philly was rumored to only be offering a 6th round selection for Moulds. Maybe the Texans can get by with only giving up their 5th rounder. If they have to give up the 4th, sobeit. A deal will get done early next week.

Imagine the versatility! 2 yard hitches to either side, PLUS Carr can audible to a run off-tackle to Reggie AND DD. We'll have the defenses stunned!

So that is what people were talking about by saying Moulds will take the pressure off of AJ.

I hope next year's play book does not drown us in a sea of retardedness like the last four years.
