Mr. WEO

He's been cleared. What's the optics problem now? 2 guys were taken 2 rounds ahead of him because 2 teams thought they were a better pick at Punter. Those picks paid off: Camarda is an excellent Punter last year--#5 in yards per. Stout had 46 yards per and put nearly 46% inside the 20---ranked 5th in the league.

it's like you're not even trying anymore...

It was 6 years. 5 at Georgia, one at JUCO. He majored in football, like 99% of every NFL player. He just didn't get the piece of paper with the "BS in General Studies" on his way out. At least he's not pretending to be a college grad. None of this is odd.

"Will other teams “never sign him”? How do I know. Maybe tomorrow they will, or Monday." I don't delete posts. Mods sometimes do. I've only seen any quotes alleging only 2 teams knew about the incident before the draft. I don't think they spend a ton of time over round 6th and 7th guys. They will each represent about 5% of all starters on rosters. In rounds 4-7, picks started in about 7% of games over the 5 years after they were drafted (combined). As a combined group, they did far worse than UDFA. As for Araiza, by the time the 6th rolled around, I'm sure the Bills were like, sure, why not?

It was a simple question that would naturally follow your question of my assertions.... But I did understand your guesses would be speculation when I asked. So you may respond. As for his football resume? It begins and ends with one year as a starting Punter in his 4th year of college. Every team was aware of it before the draft. 2 (of 4 total) teams looking for a Punter weren't impressed with that resume.

Phil Hartmann was the best cast member ever

War rooms don’t spend much energy scratching their heads over day 3 picks. It’s not hard to conceive. The took a flyer on an internet sensation who was passed over by two other teams who spent much higher (4ths) on better Punters. Araiza was a lark pick. No other team through 5 rounds said, “what the heck, let’s take The Punt God”. And no team has brought him in (he’s available). Will other teams “never sign him”? How do I know. Maybe tomorrow they will, or Monday.. Tell me why they haven’t to this point?

Wouldn't have needed them for that. Where was the popular support for this stadium deal? It was unpopular across regions and political spectra.

You're right, 6th round.

lol..."if the Bills get blown out" (by the Jags) Anyway, so someone suggested The NFL will decide if 8 teams will potentially have to travel to Jax London "home" games in the near future....based on how they handle the Bills this October?

If he's cleared, absolutely. Guy is 33 and signed a big contract. His value is in his availability at this point. There's not a lot of time to squeeze that value out of him.

If he wasn't drafted, he couldn't be a draft afterthought---7th round, 230 guys were drafted before him. He wasn't the 1st or even the 2nd Punter drafted--2 better guys were drafted in the 4th.

dang, dead again??

Fact is Brown's a bum

If this was Josh Allen, the Bills would have let it play out. But Araiza was a draft afterthought who never played a down in an essentially insignificant position who was quickly, easily and satisfactorily replaced. He had no value to the team. That's not politics. No other team wants him either--they didn't draft him nor have they invited him after he was cleared. Who cares?

Plenty of players enter the league with no diploma. At that level, they aren’t there for the education, but for the exposure that will get them drafted. This has been true for many years. No diploma. Bogus, unearned diploma. There’s no difference. This is suddenly “odd”? It’s how it works. it’s certainly “odd” to consider any of this “a red flag”…

What was Cam Newton's degree in? Brady? Lamar Jackson? Jim Kelly? I don't understand your point.

oh those scamps

There's no way to know if that is true. Even if it was, he certainly did not have the them together and prepared for the Bengals.

"suit up"? more like suit off....

what is the "coach accelerator program"?

Does he strike you as a hockey expert?

wow...

The best young athletes will still play. That will never change.

Except the price of the ticket to watch the Falcons...
