He was not traded. They were talking about it on the radio, someone in the Bills office said no deal was finalized, and John Clayton (ESPN) said the same, and that Philadelphia was in heavy talks with him as well.
Something may develop tomorrow though.
:word: i heard the same thing rick did… bogus internet rumors at this point…
i am actually sad to see him go… hopefully evans will be able to step up (if someone can actually throw him the ball, we get a line to protect the quarterback, and a decent #2 receiver emerges behind him). shit. i guess there a lot of obstacles.
I heard that houston agreed on a contract with him. they were just working out the trade with the bills.
I heard he’s actually an alien and we’re going to trade him back to his home planet for alien force field technology to protect our mediocre QB’s from defences who will tear through our offensive line like tissue paper.
Fuck the Bills and their rebuilding years…GO SABRES!
yeah sorry about the link…my uncle who lives in Houston emailed it to me at work today…I thought the trade went down… I guess its down to Houston and Philly…Philly has put a last minute push to get Moulds
He’s not traded…he agreed to a restructured contract with the Texans…Buffalo wants a 3rd Houston wants to give a 4th…There also have been numerous reports from Philly that the Eagles have no interest and have not discussed a possible contract renegotiation.
I’ll remember you said that when the Sabres find a way to miss the playoffs this year
I hope we don’t only get a 4th round for him… that would be the worst trade ever.
he’s going, today. probably for 4th round to texans. :tdown:
The win last night against toronto already clinched us a playoff spot. So no worries of that happening :P.
I think getting rid of moulds kinda sucks. I hope he goes to philly though and finally has his chance of being a great WR.
now official
can anyone post the article?
The Bills and Houston Texans have worked out their trade and informed Eric Moulds that he is going to the Texans.

The timing was perfect because Moulds was already in Houston. He reached an agreement on a four-year, $14 million contract that includes a $5 million signing. Terms of the trade weren’t known but it is believed to a second day draft choice, either a fourth- or a fifth round in 2006.
Moulds decided last week that he preferred to go to Houston instead of the Philadelphia Eagles. He worked out a contractual agreement with the Texans and then awaited the trade.
“I knew Andre Johnson and always wanted to play with him,” Moulds said Tuesday. “He’s an up and coming receiver, and I felt like the team is on a rise. This is a chance to start new, and an opportunity to play close to home where I grew up.”
Moulds has been with the Bills for 10 years. With a cap number over $10 million, Moulds declined to restructure his contract. Though the team wanted him to stay, Moulds decided it was time to move on.
“It’s very tough because anytime you’ve been in a place for 10 years, you get set in your ways,” Moulds said. “I have to learn a new city. I think being from the South makes it easier. I’m not going to be shocked by the weather, so it makes it an easy transition. It’s still tough to leave Buffalo. I have a lot of fans there, but there comes a time when everyone has to move on.”
The Texans wanted Moulds to be a veteran presence on their young offensive roster.
“Andre wanted me here, so I made my decision,” Moulds said.
