    He's past his prime, but perhaps he can get Andre back on track after such a horrible year last year. Andre has the physical talent to be the next dominant WR with his top speed, great height, and strong physical body.

    Havent heard its official yet, but if it is its a good move for Houston. A 4th or 5th rounder for a potential Pro-Bowler like Moulds is a steal.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Bills agree to trade Moulds to TexansBy John ClaytonESPN.comThe Bills and Houston Texans have worked out their trade and informed Eric Moulds that he is going to the Texans.Eric MouldsWide ReceiverBuffalo BillsProfile2005 SEASON STATISTICSRec Yds TD Avg Long YAC81 816 4 10.1 55 229The timing was perfect because Moulds was already in Houston. He reached an agreement on a four-year, $14 million contract that includes a $5 million signing. Terms of the trade weren't known but it is believed to a second day draft choice, either a fourth- or a fifth round in 2006.Moulds decided last week that he preferred to go to Houston instead of the Philadelphia Eagles. He worked out a contractual agreement with the Texans and then awaited the trade."I knew Andre Johnson and always wanted to play with him," Moulds said Tuesday. "He's an up and coming receiver, and I felt like the team is on a rise. This is a chance to start new, and an opportunity to play close to home where I grew up."Moulds has been with the Bills for 10 years. With a cap number over $10 million, Moulds declined to restructure his contract. Though the team wanted him to stay, Moulds decided it was time to move on."It's very tough because anytime you've been in a place for 10 years, you get set in your ways," Moulds said. "I have to learn a new city. I think being from the South makes it easier. I'm not going to be shocked by the weather, so it makes it an easy transition. It's still tough to leave Buffalo. I have a lot of fans there, but there comes a time when everyone has to move on."The Texans wanted Moulds to be a veteran presence on their young offensive roster."Andre wanted me here, so I made my decision," Moulds said.John Clayton is a senior NFL writer for ESPN.com.</div>Per ESPN
