The way I look at it is like this:

Moulds is completely unexciting and definitely not worth whatever money he's looking for, but he upgrades the team in two ways. First, he's a better, more experienced, more polished receiver than the Eagles have right now, so he cans tep into the number one role and produce solid if unspectacular numbers. And second, he can play for a year or two, and allow Reggie Brown to learn and not be tossed face first into the role of #1. In other words Get moulds. And overpay for him if necessary. They've got a shteinton of cash to play with for god's sake.

PS: It won't happen.

Basically the same stuff but it is from a Buffalo paper:

QuoteMoulds has his eye on Eagles
By MARK GAUGHAN
News Sports Reporter

Eric Moulds' representative says the Philadelphia Eagles are interested in his client, and the feeling is mutual.
"Eric has a wish list of teams, and a lot of those teams on his list are interested," said Greg Johnson, Moulds' New Orleans-based advisor. "I'm optimistic we can work something out that will be acceptable to the Bills."

The Eagles have had discussions with Moulds' advisors in the past week, since the Bills granted permission to Moulds to seek a trade. Johnson said Moulds has talked on the phone with Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. An Eagles source told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the team would be interested at the right price for Moulds.

"Several teams are in the mix," Johnson said. "I think Philly would be a good place for Eric."

New England, Kansas City, Denver and Houston are other teams Johnson identified as having interest.

Johnson said any deal would require the Bills to accept a draft-pick compensation as well as Moulds striking a new contract with the team that acquires him. A pick of the second day of the draft is probably what another team would offer in a trade.

If they get somehow go out of character and nab Moulds, my offseason grade changes significantly.

It would change my excitement level significantly, but not the grade. They still don't have a FB or TE or RB who can pass protect. They still don't have a decent OLB. They still have no depth at DT. He's an upgrade for the WRs no doubt. And I would be thrilled to have him be an Eagle, but there are still big holes that need to be filled.

in an NFL where money wouldn't be the deciding factor, Moulds would be coming to Philly, but its sad to say our FO is mennonite and wouldn't give him what he wants.  farg we have all the $ in the world.  Its instant number 1 WR.  We have to have one of the worst WR group in the league.  Its pretty embarrasing when the Gints, Foreskins and CowRomes all have a way better receiving corps that us.

I didn't say it would change to an A.  Right now I have them at C-...and signing Moulds would get them into the B-ish range.

I think I had the Runyan signing bumping them to a C+. Moulds would probably make it a B- to B.

In conclusion, this conversation is kind of retarded. Moulds would be awesome, but they need to do more.

Getting Moulds would bump us up to an A- in my book.

And if rjs tries to give me noogies, I'll break his arm. :)

Yep.  They have plenty of holes to fill...let them at least fill this one.

yea moulds would get them a solid b, with a chance at improvement depending on what they do in the draft and with the dline and rb (lendale white lendale white lendale white)
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

i agree.  some of you people are acting like taterskins fans.  you're not going to pick up a star player at every position in one offseason.  now granted, i've been one of the people calling our FO cheap so far, but if we get Moulds, we resigned Runyan, picked up a quality DE and an upgrade at WR, a servicable backup QB and TE, I'd call it a pretty good FA season so far.  Except for the TO/Freak signings, the best in recent memory.
