Dr. Fong Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I did a quick search and didn't find a thread about this, sorry if it's been discussed. CBS Sportsline story I only posted it because it pisses me off so much. Why don't the Bills ever get this kind of break from their players? I can't think of the last time a Bills player took a lower salary just to stick around and help the team get further. I applaud Bettis for being a realist and wanting to help his team achieve a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Fong Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Eric Moulds 256449[/snapback] Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he just restructure and not actually take any appreciable paycut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorom Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Eric did not take any paycut. he restructured and it will cost us next year and the year after In fact most people do nto forsee Moulds being a Bill after this year due to his enorjmus cap hit next season.

bartshan-83 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Ted Washington took a cut I believe Edit: Yes in fact he did. He took one after the 2000 season and then was cut because he didnt want to take another pay cut the next offseason. Holocek restructured too...but I don't know if he took a cut. And I believe he was released anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofiba Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he just restructure and not actually take any appreciable paycut? 256450[/snapback] I thought Eric signed with us when he was a free agent instead of testing the market and making big bucks.

He took a low ball deal because he didn't want to start over and there isn't a big market for 40 year old running backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
