It is relatively easy to tell, when you post his twitter "leaks"/ news he is right on in explaining as much as he can from behind the scenes or providing a bit more information. The writing style, snark, music choices that I don't usually agree with, etc. clearly indicate it is indeed him. I get one post here and there, but when you have been here for a few years and see his take on topics OTW and stuff in TSW, it is apparent Okay- I can accept that. I have seen just enough to wonder if it is, or if it’s one of those “my uncles cousins brothers” type things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have tangible reason to believe it is? Wawrow is Wawrow. To clarify for a couple of other posters Wawrow did not give his opinion regarding whether or not a deal was likely. He stated that someone high up in the organization shook their head no when asked about it. That's Wawrows way of not being tied down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember he said slow the roll on the Rapsheet report, but didn’t he also indicate that they weren’t even interested?

That's No Moon Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Talking about these leaks and such. The local Indianapolis people weren't the one to break Andrew Luck's retirement. That was Adam Schefter who certainly didn't get it from the team directly either because the team was setting up a PC for 3pm today to tell everyone. They didn't want it broken during the middle of a home preseason game with fans finding out on their phones. Point being, there are lots of places to get information and lots of reasons to want to put stuff out at different times. Agents put stuff out, players put stuff out, people attached to the people put stuff out. That Wawrow doesn't have it doesn't mean it's not happening. It doesn't mean it is either. It just means that nobody that he has access to or a relationship with has said anything to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW also said they laughed at him when he inquired a couple weeks ago, yet there are still reports of the Bills working on a trade. There are, however, no CREDIBLE reports of the Bills working on a trade. We've heard it from three different no-name Twitter posters trying to make a name for themselves by discussing vague conjecture. Until someone halfway worth a darn reports anything about the Bills being interested, I won't believe they are. The only person who DOES have credibility that has weighed in on this idea is JW, and he specifically stated twice now that he was told there's nothing to it.

I agree with you, but perhaps the Texans just want to move on. Remember that Gaine wanted to keep Clowney and Watt together. The brass would not allow Gaine to pay Clowney and extend him.

Couple follow up questions Is this person someone that for sure would know in the first place, or is it possible Beane is working on this and source wouldn't necessarily know yet? Lets assume he would definitely know, wouldn't it make more sense for them to say no at this stage since its not done? Or would this person always tell you the true answer no matter what? Just curious to the weight of their response...thanks again John! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Allbright said last week the Bills were interested or inquiring or something... this report is the 2nd one linking them. PFT is an aggregate and sometimes they have their own sources. They don’t run with “rumors” like this. In this case, these guys at PFN seem to have a mole with the dolphins and a mole with the Jets based on the stuff they’ve put out. Someone is telling them, as with allbright, that the Bills are involved. To what degree, we don’t know.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) 3 weeks ago I was very much in favor of a move like this, but now with Johnson’s play, is it worth it? Or better question do we need him? Clowney certainly would be better option the next 1 to 2 years, but beyond could Johnson be almost as good and much cheaper? I’d feel better if it’s like a 3 for 1 deal so as not to give up much in the way of picks and Bills have a number of positions where they likely will be releasing good players, so then really not losing much. Wouldnt say I’m against it, but don’t want to pay a stiff price either. Edited August 25, 2019 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
