Karen Guregian, of the Boston Herald, reports several members of the Buffalo Bills suspect the New England Patriots signed WR Jonathan Smith last week just to gather information of the Bills' playbook before the two teams met in Week 1. The Patriots released Smith before the game. "It's not the first time they've done it," said Bills WR Lee Evans when asked about it. "It's the nature of the business, part of the game, I guess. There's not a whole lot you can say about it. It's just what they wanted to do." Evans wasn't alone in his assessment. Other players in the opposing locker room agreed the Smith signing had a foul smell to it. Bills CB Terrence McGee, however, saw Smith in the hallway of Gillette Stadium following warm-ups, so he wasn't sure what was going on. It's possible he was just visiting players, or doing the double-reverse on the Pats, and feeding the Bills info, or Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has other ideas for him. If the double-reverse scenario is the case, it's curious the Pats didn't wait to release him until after the game.
