    790 the Sports Animal just reported the Texans will cut WR Eric Moulds. What a bad trade last year. It looked like a steal but now I know why the Texans were the only team interested in him. Also, David Dalatti said Seth Payne was cut and that Dominack Williams and others will be cut if they don't take a paycut.

    No thank you. This draft is full of WR and you can find one in the 2nd or 3rd round.

    Never know. The tools are there for him to be a star and Kubiak said this offseason they need a wideout that can stretch the defense, make big plays and he might be the biggest play making wideout in the draft other than C.J. Slim chance right now but as it gets closer to the draft it wouldnt shock me if they considered him.

    Wasn't Eric Moulds the Texans's second best receiver? WTF. 3rd and 4th best receivers must be sweating bullets.

    Unless they have a free agent like Stallworth ready to sign on friday this was a bad move. Moulds was not great last year, but you CAN'T go into next season with Kevin Walter as your #2. If we do then the offense will be even more inept next year.

    Maybe...It's still a $500,000 cap hit, unless they designate him the June 1st cut, in which it would apparently only be a $300,000 hit. Apparently, Moulds said on 790 just after that they told him they were going with youth.

    Is it possible they think Jerome Mathis is ready? I know they were hoping to use him more to stretch defenses before the injury.

    i didn't realize it was already september... what? it's still only february? no way.

    re: moulds - he'll catch on somewhere else where they have a good quarterback. this was all carr's fault.

    Getting ahead of the game, are we?

    He was ok this season. He wasn't really given a true chance, IMO. I'm not necessarily blaming Carr, but you can't dismiss that he locks in on AJ and the ball is going there regardless of the situation. I wonder if AJ isn't too happy about this.

    I am with you on the time of year, though. There is no way to tell who is going to be available through cuts, etc. until training camp begins. Stallworth isn't a bad idea, though.

    Guys, it doesn't matter who the #2 receiver is until the quarterback (whoever it may be) has time to go through his progressions and to let routes develop downfield. I support the move because this team needs to learn from its earlier mistakes. Use the cap money and draft picks to fix the offensive line, and worry about secondary options when they're capable of being used.

    let's stop pretending this QB NEVER has time to go through progressions. even when he does have the time, he locks in. that may be as a result of the fact he's never been adequately protected (a la David Klingler)...but it still is what it is.
