The New England Patriots are one of four teams being mentioned today as potential destinations for disgruntled Buffalo Bills wide receiver Eric Moulds. The Houston Chronicle reports that the Houston Texans, Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles are the others.
Moulds, 32, is a big receiver who has put up big-time numbers in Buffalo. He is entering his 11th year in the NFL, and the Bills reportedly are not interested in paying him the $7.1-million salary he is due this year. The Chronicle reports that the Bills are looking for a fourth-round draft pick in return for Moulds, and that Buffalo may release him outright if it cannot get an acceptable deal.
The Patriots could use a receiver to make up for the departed David Givens. Since Givens left through free agency, the Pats have added Reche Caldwell, who was mostly a backup in four seasons with San Diego.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Daily News reports that Moulds himself would prefer to play for the Eagles, even if it is unclear how much the Birds would like to add him to their flock. Philadelphia has already signed former Texans wide receiver Jabar Gaffney to help make up for the hole left by Terrell Owens' departure.
