Risin Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 after this season. I know it isn't news to anyone here, but isn't it weird they are reporting it every 20 minutes on their sports update? Wonder who their source is, and what triggered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan III Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Wonder who their source is, and what triggered it. 517895[/snapback] Freddie Smerlas probably read it on TBD and is reporting it as fact on EEI.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch19079 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 they dont know what the hell they are talking about. yeah he has a high cap hit. but he is our offensive leader and key to our team. if we cut him who do we replace him with? evans is not ready to be the #1. parrish or reed is not ready to be a #2. a FA who coudl be our #1 would cost close to the same amount. its just a bunch of people sitting around a table and looking at draft picks and stats and say, hey... this guy will be cut becasue of this number and this number and this number. and they never see what effect that player really has on a team.

Perhaps whitey could squeeze a second string OL out of them for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is way to high, for a player of his caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDG Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Idle speculation becomes rumor becomes fact? Who knew that would happen on WEEI? original source: http://www.philly.com/mld/dailynews/13308224.htm 517925[/snapback] I spotted the same thing in the Buffalo News a day before the Philly article: http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20051...?tbd1053616.asp Is Donahoe leaking this, or is it just a wild rumour. Its almost at the point now where Donahoe will have to address it. JDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Its almost at the point now where Donahoe will have to address it. 517941[/snapback] Donahoe or Mularkey, pick either one: "We will evaluate every player at every position once the season is over." There, he addressed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 In terms of the timing, I wonder if it has to do with MM's formal announcement that he's sticking with JP for the remainder of the year? We all know that Moulds was one of the driving forces behind JP's benching. Note also that, as ch19079 pointed out, Moulds is our leader on offense. However, the leader SHOULD be our QB. And maybe the thought is to place JP in a sitaution where he is the unquestioned starter and leader of the offense next season. Obviously JP needs to do what he can over the next several weeks to command the leadership role with his on-field play. This past week he looked Moulds' way more than he has any game in the past. So maybe the two of them will form a connection that will prevent Moulds from becomming a distraction again -- and place Moulds in the situation where he wants to stay put and is willing to take a pay cut to do so.

Ray Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Great, now we have no number one receiver with a new QB and an awful OL. Things are really looking up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Is Donahoe leaking this, or is it just a wild rumour. 517941[/snapback] I think neither, it's just common sense. Moulds probably knew it himself back when he signed the contract... just too much jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 We all know that Moulds was one of the driving forces behind JP's benching. 517945[/snapback] We do? I don"t know that..and, in fact, I highly doubt it. You pay WAY too much attention to the bulls#it in the paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Is Donahoe leaking this, or is it just a wild rumour. Its almost at the point now where Donahoe will have to address it. 517941[/snapback] Could well be Moulds' people. Not exactly a state secret that he has been unsatisfied here for several years. This just puts the thought into everyone's mind (anyone who wasn't already aware that he is likely out of here) so they become used to the idea for a while before it comes time. By then, it will be more a matter of course rather than a tough decision b/w keeping him or having to eat all that cap $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't want to cash in his 11 million dollar paycheck!! If he's cut he would make at most half of what he'd make in Buffalo in 2006. There's no way in hell it's Moulds' people.

I'm still inclined to put Theory A - this is a leak from Donahoe or Theory B - this is the media running with one reporter's bit of idle speculation ahead of that theory. But good thinking.

Things are really looking up! 517964[/snapback] With all due respect, what's a "Number One Receiver?" Sorry, but that's one of my favorite bugaboos - most NFL teams don't have "#1 WR's", almost every passing formation has two WR's in it. Occasionally, a team will have a healthy Randy Moss, reasonably quiet TO, or a towering superstar like Steve Smith - but these are exceptions in my mind, rather than rules....

You think Brett Favre is staying on b/c of money? It's about wanting to win, and to be known 50 years from now. I think Moulds can realize that isn't going to happen with the Bills in his timeframe.
