price for Moulds just went up

How do you figure?

The difference is that Walker's due about $1m this year in salary, but Moulds is due $7.1 million.  The Bills will cut Moulds, while the Packers can afford to play hardball with Walker.

walker also is not a solution for this year...where as if you get moulds you get him to make a run at it all in the next two years max

walker would be an investment for the future

The difference is that Walker's due less than $700k this year in salary, but Moulds is due $7.1 million.  The Bills will cut Moulds, while the Packers can afford to play hardball with Walker.

less high-profile WR on the market.

Moulds contract demands will be no different either way.  If anything, you should be happy, because if the Eagles think Walker is not a possibility, and they would really like to get a top proven receiver, then their value of Moulds might have just gone up.

Walker 'not coming back' to Packers

Green Bay - What part of no don't the Green Bay Packers understand?

That's what Charles Goldsmith, Javon Walker's stepfather, wanted to know when he emphatically stated in a telephone interview this morning with the Journal Sentinel that the wide receiver will not ever play for the team again.

No amount of money, the passage of time or the possible retirement of quarterback Brett Favre, his adversary, will change Walker's mind, according to Goldsmith. He told general manager Ted Thompson in a 30-minute conversation Jan. 20 that his stepson was through with the Packers, but based on recent published comments from Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy, Goldsmith detected hope within the organization that the situation could be rectified.

"I wish this could have worked out better but he's not coming back," Goldsmith said. "He has so much animosity regarding Green Bay, it's ridiculous."

Goldsmith and his wife, Bernita, were in Green Bay this morning working with a real-estate agent. He said Walker's home in Green Bay, which he purchased from former Packers defensive end Jamal Reynolds about two years ago, will be on the market by Wednesday.

Walker has one year remaining on his original five-year contract with the Packers at a base salary of $1.15 million. He underwent reconstructive knee surgery Oct. 7.

According to Goldsmith, Walker has spent the off-season back and forth between Houston and Tallahassee, Fla., where he was back attending classes at Florida State. Goldsmith said his stepson is ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation.

Thompson has denied a request by Walker's agent, Kennard McGuire, seeking permission to shop his client.

Eagles | Team drawing interest from Faine
Wed, 29 Mar 2006 05:29:48 -0800

Bob Grotz, of the Daily Times, reports Cleveland Browns OC Jeff Faine has some interest in joining the Philadelphia Eagles. The Browns gave Faine permission to seek a trade after they signed OC LeCharles Bentley. Faine's current contract runs through 2009. The Browns almost certainly would be seeking a first-day draft pick for Faine.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Trading a first-day pick for Jeff Faine would be preposterous.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Getting Jeff Faine at all would be preposterous.

He sucks.

There are LBs who are bigger than him.

[SunMo]

i thought he was great in the original Star Trek pilot episode

[ice grillin you]

The Browns almost certainly would be seeking won't get a first-day draft pick for Faine.

There is so much good work in this post I don't know where to begin. The question mark followed by a '1' is fantastic.
