scribo Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 KFFL reports... Bills | Eight teams interested in MouldsFri, 24 Mar 2006 10:41:52 -0800 Frank Schwab, of the Colorado Springs Gazette, reports eight teams have shown interest in free agent WR Eric Moulds (Bills). However, Greg Johnson, Moulds' personal adviser, said working out a trade will be difficult because both the Bills and Moulds' new team would have to agree on draft pick compensation. The team would likely want to work out a new contract before trading for him as well. It will only be difficult if Moulds and his goons make it difficult. This, IMHO, is EM's personal adviser further positioning in the media, trying to get his client released so he can walk away with his bonus from Buffalo and get a new one from another team. I am confident that Marv is much too smart to let that happen. I really want to know which teams "have shown interest." I want to know how he defines interest. Not hanging up when Johnson calls is not showing interest.
2003Contenders Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 With the lack of credible WRs out there is free agency, this could be a seller's market. I'm thinking we can get a Day 1 pick for EM.
Beerball Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Bill--get out your crystal ball...what can we get for EM? I say 4th or 5th.
ans4e64 Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 if this is true, a 3rd rounder might actually be possible, i said a 5th the other day, but 8 is a lot of teams, this might turn out ok
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I'd dig another 3rd round pick for sure, especially in this very deep draft.
2003Contenders Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Supposedly the Broncos are interested. I'd guess that the NYG are interested, since they just lost out on Keyshawn. Remember that the Bears were willing to throw a lot of money Randle El's way. Probably both NE and Miami would be interested. The 49ers need a WR in the worst kind of way. The Chiefs have been needing a playmaker at WR for a long time. The Packers could be desperate if Walker is serious about holding out. We've said all along that EM would be a perfect fit for the Eagles. I have no doubt that there are 8 or more interested teams. And this year's WR draft class is not supposed to be one of the better ones either.
roscoeparrishfan Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I think we will get a first round pick. I think em will put up career numbers next year.
Ray Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 A lot of teams may be interested to pay him 3M/year. But they're not interested to pay him 7M/year.
nobody Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 "working out a trade will be difficult because both the Bills and Moulds' new team would have to agree on draft pick compensation." Wow! Both the Bills AND the team that wants Moulds will have to decide on which draft pick! Um - isn't that like all trades? How do I become a personal advisor?
Olaf Fub Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Can we reduce his dead cap space if we "re-work" his deal prior to a trade? That would be ideal, if the Bills could get a draft pick and an extra million or two in freed up cap space.
CircleTheWagons Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 "working out a trade will be difficult because both the Bills and Moulds' new team would have to agree on draft pick compensation."Wow! Both the Bills AND the team that wants Moulds will have to decide on which draft pick! Um - isn't that like all trades? How do I become a personal advisor? 641545[/snapback] Exactly. I think the sticking point is the last line - The team would likely want to work out a new contract before trading for him as well. Moulds probably has teams offering him less than what the Bills are.
Nervous Guy Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Wow! Both the Bills AND the team that wants Moulds will have to decide on which draft pick! Um - isn't that like all trades? How do I become a personal advisor? 641545[/snapback] no sh--...that was a brilliant observation on their part...oh and to become a personal advisor, you really have to be a somebody first...

Buffalo Wing Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Two of the eight teams are probably the Giants and Seahawks. Both of them were in the Keyshawn sweapstakes, so I think it's a safe bet that they have expressed interest in Moldy. I am still convinced that if we can get a 3rd round pick for him, TAKE IT AND RUN! Not only would we unload a 32 year old receiver with a 'tude, we would also get another day 1 pick in a very deep draft, as well as unload a nice chunk of money off this year and next year.

Eric Moulds is going to succeed anywhere he goes.

Both of them I am still convinced that if we can get a 3rd round pick for him, TAKE IT AND RUN! 641655[/snapback] I don't think anyone here is conviced any otherwise, just maybe doubtful that we can get that for him....

Not hanging up when Johnson calls is not showing interest. 641487[/snapback] I wonder if the Saints have any interest in Moulds, or if Levy would pull the trigger if given the chance at Vince Young. I know it makes no sense, but could you pass him up? The kid has greatness written all over him. I'm not taking away from the QB's we have because I still like Losman, but the future bargaining power could come back two fold if we somehow managed to bring a guy like Young in. We have to face the fact that we are rebuilding again, the QB position is critical to our future success. Am I just daydreaming guys?
