MAJBobby Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2022/03/bills-are-always-the-mystery-team-in-free-agency-says-nfl-insider.html?outputType=amp discussing the Bills Ian gave out some interesting nuggets that when you hear of a mystery team involved with something it is always the Bills. ……….“And it took me a long time to figure out the Bills were the mystery team and that’s sort of what I learned. The Bills are always the mystery team because they don’t want anyone to know they’re involved and they insist on secrecy which is hard for me, but who cares. It also makes it a lot more fun when it’s a big splash signing like Von Miller and it just gets dropped in our laps like that. That was a pretty cool moment, I have to say.” Edited March 18, 2022 by MAJBobby 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I said it in the Von Miller thread. The one thing about this regime that I find OUTSTANDING? Absolutely no leaks. There are rumors we're pursuing this person or that person heavily. Then 💥💥💥, we signed someone that no one else really had us linked to. It's the polar opposite of the regimes in charge before this one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I guess we can assume that when they mention a "mystery team" is interested in a player...it's the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Maybe it's because players are actively telling their agents to get in touch with the Bills to see if there is interest like Von Miller did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Also based on this from Ian, I think we can narrow his sources when he talks mystery team to Agents. Example Bills are not going to leak it to him and say but dont say it is us. The agent would as the Bills tell the Agent, do not include are name or we pull out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 It's a far cry from the good old days when Bills leaks were commonplace, and often started by Bills insiders with their own agendas. Doug Whaley comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Now the other side to that. when the Bills ARE connected to a team, Fans should start thinking WHY would Beane put that out there. Because if they are always the mystery team when they are “named” there is a reason and Beane and the FO want their name connected to said player for a REASON.
