Titans agree to deal with WR Moulds
By PAUL KUHARSKY
Staff Writer
The Titans have agreed to terms with veteran receiver Eric Moulds and he will be with the team Friday at the start of training camp.
The team had long hoped to add veteran leadership at the position, where they are counting on threats to emerge from a group of seven draft picks brought in over the last three years.
Team officials had not expressed an interest in Moulds earlier in the offseason and terms of his deal were not immediately known, but it’s possible that it’s a one-year contract that would be low risk for the team if Moulds doesn’t pan out in advance of the start of the regular season.
Moulds, 34, joined the Houston Texans in April of 2006 in a trade from Buffalo.
The Bills got a fifth-round pick in exchange for the 6-foot-2, 225-pound Moulds who was named to three Pro Bowl teams in 10 seasons in Buffalo. As a Texan he caught 57 passes for 557 yards and a touchdown. With the Bills he played 154 games with 675 receptions, 9,096 yards and 48 TDs.

We should change his name to Eric Mouldy oldie. I remember back in 1998 I thought he was going to be one of the most dominating WR's ever. He used to fight after the catch for yards. He played a really physical style of receiving. I really missed the boat on this one. What a disappointment he turned out to be.
Brandon yes. Roydell, on the other hand, will be lucky to make the final roster.

Ignore the above post. No chance he is cut, and a very good chance he does start.

why would Roydell get cut before Roby???

I disagree. Very fantasy-related story...for a guy named Vince Young. At least he has something to work with now.

Has Moulds ever been a mentor to young WRs? It seems he could be the guy to take some of these talented but inexperienced WRs under his wing and help the team immensely.

Smells like chicken
linkage??Moulds/Gage/Givens - probably in front of Roydell. What about Roby, is he even in the mix.
Boy now that I think aobut it, what a mess. they'll have 6 guys with like 30 catches each

As has already been pointed out, Moulds has unquestionably (and consistently) lost his deep speed and is now a glorified H-back. He catches everything thrown his way (he led the league in receptions per target last year in Houston), but can't get deep or generate YAC. While that safety valve will come in handy for Vince Young, you still have to wonder where and how they manage to spread the field vertically. Arguably their three best receivers are now middle of the defense, first down possession guys: Moulds, Troupe & Scaife.

I don't know if he's ever been much of a mentor, but to keep drawing NFL paychecks he needs to make the transition. I don't see why he couldn't do it successfully, and still be a reliable set of hands in the twilight of his career.

You have to have a really, really deep league to even think about Moulds as a legitimate draft selection.
Stick a fork in him, the guy is just looking for a paycheck. A vet's minimum in the NFL as a 4th WR, sure beats a division II college WR coaching job in pay scale.
I can't and won't pick apart the Titan's WR corps, because as BSS stated, "It's a mess."
I wouldn't be surprised if Moulds was cut before the 3rd preseason game, however.

As for Roydell Williams being cut, read the comments in the column next to this article. He clearly is in line to be a contributor and right now would have to be a favorite to start next to B.Jones.

Before the Moulds signing and after David Givens' injury, the Titans leading WR with the most receptions in a season was Justin Gage with 31. Moulds is looking like a very good option here. He did have 57 recs with Houston last year. That's fairly impressive considering the man-love Andre Johnson gets.
