Bills Legend Eric Moulds Sells Final Game-Worn Jersey to Support Teammate Battling Parkinson’s Disease
Buffalo, NY – November 1, 2025
In a gesture that’s brought a wave of emotion across Bills Mafia, legendary wide receiver Eric Moulds — the shining star of Buffalo’s offense through a difficult decade — has auctioned off the
game-worn jersey from his final season to support a former teammate now facing the hardest battle of his life.
For fans who remember the late ’90s and early 2000s, Moulds was the lone constant in an era of instability. Known for his precision routes, contested catches, and quiet leadership, he became the franchise’s beacon of hope through years of quarterback turnover. From 1996 to 2005, he posted
675 receptions, 9,096 yards, and 48 touchdowns, including a historic 100-catch season in 2002, earning three Pro Bowl selections and a permanent place among the Bills’ all-time greats.
That former teammate is Takeo Spikes, the relentless linebacker who commanded Buffalo’s defense with passion and authority. During his time with the team (2003–2005), Spikes recorded over 200 tackles
, earned two Pro Bowls and an All-Pro selection in 2003, and became known as the emotional core of the defense — the “defensive quarterback” who brought fire to every down.
💬 “We carried this team through the storms — him on defense, me on offense,” Moulds said quietly. “Now that he’s fighting something far tougher than any Sunday battle, I want this jersey to fight for him — the same way he fought for Buffalo.”
Spikes, beloved for his intensity and leadership, has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a neurological disorder that has gradually affected his movement and coordination. Despite the diagnosis, those close to him say his trademark energy and optimism haven’t faded — he continues to train, mentor young athletes, and advocate for player health awareness.
Moulds’ decision to sell his final jersey isn’t about nostalgia — it’s about brotherhood. The proceeds from the auction will go directly to the Bills Alumni Health & Wellness Fund
, supporting Spikes’ treatment and ongoing medical research into Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative conditions among retired NFL players.
💬 “This jersey carried our pride, our pain, and our fight,” Moulds reflected.
Lions Legend Herman Moore Sells Final Game-Worn Jersey to Support Teammate Battling Chronic Nerve Disease
Detroit, MI – November 1, 2025
A powerful gesture of loyalty and compassion has captured the hearts of Lions fans across Michigan. Legendary wide receiver
game-worn jersey from his final season to support a former teammate now facing a serious health battle.
The proceeds will go toward helping former linebacker Boss Bailey, who is currently dealing with long-term health complications stemming from his playing career.
For those who grew up watching the Honolulu blue and silver in the 1990s and early 2000s, Moore’s name still evokes memories of clutch catches, game-saving plays, and quiet leadership.
The five-time Pro Bowler retired in 2001 as the franchise’s all-time leader in receptions (670) — a record that stood for years and symbolized an era of Lions football defined by heart, grit, and resilience.
💬 “We shared the same locker room, the same pride, and the same dream of lifting this city up,” Moore said with emotion. “Now that he’s fighting his toughest battle off the field, I want this jersey to fight alongside him — just like we always did.”
Bailey, who played for the Lions from 2003 to 2007, was once seen as the symbol of new hope for Detroit’s defense. A 2004 Pro Bowler with more than 200 tackles in his rookie season, he quickly earned the respect of fans and teammates alike.
Known for his explosive athleticism and relentless motor, Bailey carried the promise of a defensive revival for a franchise searching for direction.
As the younger brother of All-Pro cornerback Champ Bailey
, Boss carved out his own legacy in Detroit — becoming a fan favorite for his leadership, work ethic, and humility.
In recent years, however, Bailey has faced chronic joint and nerve issues, complications linked to the physical toll of his NFL career. Those injuries have affected his mobility and daily life, forcing him to undergo ongoing therapy and medical treatment.
