Randall Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Final countdown: The NFL Competition Committee has an interesting concept: they are pushing to change the final cutdown. To get more players into training camps and help the development of NFL Europe, teams receive roster exemptions for players allocated to the league. But most of those players aren't going to make teams and hang around until the final cut because they keep those extra roster spots alive. The Committee is looking at a concept to change the first cutdown to 75 instead of 65 and eliminating the NFL Europe exemptions in the first cut. By doing that, teams won't be cutting better players in the cutdown to 65 and would keep them around for another week. The 10-to-12 NFL Europe players often don't play much in the final preseason games, so the players who would be practice squad candidates would get another week with their teams. Fit for Moulds: The interesting teams to follow on the Eric Moulds front are the Eagles, the Patriots and the Texans. The Bills have given Moulds permission to shop himself in a trade with hopes that he doesn't get good financial offers and wants to return for less money in Buffalo. The Texans and the Patriots were checking around Friday to find out details of the Keyshawn Johnson's contract with the Panthers, which is $4 million a year for the first two years of the contract. Moulds is scheduled to make more than $6 million this year in base pay. Moulds might be able to come up with similar contract numbers. It would benefit the Bills to make sure Moulds doesn't go to the Patriots, their division rival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogohawk Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I would love to see him in Eagles green this year! That way they wouldn't have to waste a draft pick on someone like Freddie Mitchell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 I would love to see him in Eagles green this year! That way they wouldn't have to waste a draft pick on someone like Freddie Mitchell! 1389632[/snapback] WR Eric Moulds reportedly wants to play for the Eagles. "Every time I mention Philadelphia, Eric's ears perk up," said personal advisor Greg Johnson. "He wants to go to Philadelphia. He really feels he could help them. He loves the idea of being an Eagle and playing with Donovan (McNabb)." Philly fans would favor any move that pushed Todd Pinkston down the depth chart.

Avernus Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I don't see Andy getting him after the "conduct detrimental to the team" incident... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip_Side Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I think Moulds would fit perfect in an Eagles uniform, it would also help his fantasy numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
