According to Ian Rapoport The Bills are “always the mystery team”

[Big Turk]

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?

[MAJBobby]

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.

Ahhhhh the old days with Leroi, back when we knew the picks and trades beforehand.

 

So glad they Bills canned the staff taking stuff out of trash cans and leaking it.

Yep……McDermott made sure to come in and clean house of all of them!

 

A lot of them got hired back.  But it's easier to change the culture when you sweep everyone out of the room and then talk to folks 1:1 and get a picture on who the sieves were and whether they'd mend their ways.

I guess we can assume that when they mention a "mystery team" is interested in a player...it's the Bills.

 

I was thinking of that.  But I bet Schoen wants to follow in his mentor's footsteps so that might no longer be a safe assumption

Schoen has to deal with the NY media, an impossible task.

Outside of the Carolina connection to the occasional player, is there anything this organization does not do the right way?

I always loved Leroi’s information, but I never understood what someone gets out of leaking information on a forum. Nothing against the guy, but I never understood the motive. It really speaks to how the culture has changed. 

[Nextmanup]

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.

Just because these reporters don't have a scoop it's considered a mystery...or the new term being used now is sneaky signing. None of these "insiders" have inside info on teams

[0017]

So maybe we’re in on Deshaun Watson, there was a mystery team involved! 
I’m kidding! 😂

That's just not the case. They do have inside information on a lot of teams. The Bills just aren't one of those, apparently.

After what happened in Cleveland the last few days, getting any free agent to go there without a truckload of money is going to be tough. 
 

Pretty embarrassing situation at QB there right now. 

Obj also told him to stay away last year. And was when they were only semi-dysfunctional.

Russ Brandon, when not crushing local broadcasting poon, leaked like a sieve.

that combination of thoughts really makes you cringe.

[MAJBobby]

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.

Is Von Miller taking the Bills to the Superbowl?

With the crew of low lifes and miscreants in the league, the NFL could run an 'All Duds Edition'.

Badass. This pic gives me 'he's an enforcer" vibe. All Business.
