Buftex Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Thought this was interesting, from the front, the CBS Sportsline "notes & quotes" article: -General manager Tom Donahoe told readers of the team's web site that the team has told veteran WR Eric Moulds it wants him back next season. "We are hopeful things can be worked out at the conclusion of the season," said Donahoe, who would have to re-work Moulds' contract yet again to lower his near $11 million cap figure. But he said the team still rates Moulds an elite receiver. Is TD saying this because he knows fan support is in Moulds favor (in general), or is he saying it because he knows he (TD) will be back, and MM will be gone? Or is he saying it because he is knows that he (TD) will be gone after the season, so he can say whatever he thinks people want to hear? I just can't fathom Moulds, Mularkey and Donohoe all being employed by the Bills next season...these are the days of our lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think he'd answer it to be honest though. Glad he said what he said. Hope it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachChuckDickerson Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 According to TD he is still working on a deal to keep Big Pat in Buffalo....stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Why would anyone think that Moulds has a problem with TD? After all, TD IS the guy who chose to keep Moulds (over Wiley) and gave him one of the richest WR contracts in NFL history. Moulds' problems have more to do with the coaching staff and outside of having hired them, TD can't do much more than fire them, which is what will likely happen (or they all might get dumped) and that might keep Moulds around.

Sure, but that's true with every GM. Make no mistake, Moulds will need to take a paycut. Will he is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
