Moulds, J. Lewis, Fauria among cuts

Hey all --

Possibly appealing to the Patriots: receiver Eric Moulds was released by the Texans. Moulds was in Houston for just one season, with 57 catches for 557 yards and one touchdown. Though he is 33 years old, Bill Belichick has spoken highly of Moulds in the past and New England pursued the wideout last year before the deal with Houston came to pass.

Former Pats tight end Christian Fauria was cut by the Redskins today, after one unproductive season in Washington. Fauria played in nine games, with two catches, before being placed on injured reserve; he had signed a 2-year, $2 million deal with the Skins before last season.

Also, running back Jamal Lewis, due a $5 million roster bonus in March, was cut by the cash-strapped Ravens, who came into the day just $5.7 million under the salary cap. Lewis, a stocky 5-11, 245, had 2,066 rushing yards in 2003. However, Baltimore general manager Ozzie Newsome said on the team web site that the team is still interested in working out a new deal with Lewis.
