The OP seemed to be questioning why Arazia was brought into the civil suit. I was just stating the plaintiffs claim of how Arazia was connected, allegedly.

Not saying any of this is factual. Just stating what was in the lawsuit.

Civil suit was filed yesterday. Post intercourse, Plaintiff claims Arazia took her to a bedroom occupied by the former teammates and threw her face down on to the bed. Have not heard whether or not someone is claiming this is not true. It sounds like what happened next with respect to Arazia is unclear. Was he in the room, did he watch and do nothing, did he participate or did he walk away?

Having sex with a minor is only half of the problem for Azaria. The lawsuit states that when he was done with the girl, he took her to a bedroom and threw her face first on the bed where some of his teamate(s) allegedly raped her. So he may not have raped but he may have facilitated the act for others to some degree. I would bet a lot of money that the Bills will say that this is new info and will cut him today.

The LA times article about the law suit seems to imply Arazia’s intercourse was consensual but he subsequently took her to a bedroom and threw her face first down on the bed. He may not have raped her at either time but at a minimum he may have been complicit in the rape by his teammates. Again, just my interpretation of the article.

They may not have known in April. Sounds like they first got wind of this mid to late July.

Angry at who?

I want the Bills to cut him now. Don’t need this distraction. They have two weeks before the opener. Still time to recover but not much.

From now on Beane should just trade his second pick. Move up a few spots in the 1st or pick up an extra 3rd and 4th.

Maybe but I think the Browns would rather have Watson play as soon as possible to get the reps and put that circus behind them.

The Browns could have picked Malik Willis in the 3rd round, trade Baker and get Brissett or jimmy G as a bridge and avoided all of this.

They will settle on 12 games. NFL does not want Watson anywhere near that Houston game.

Glad to hear it could be a few weeks to recover. Do not want to see Josh anywhere near the field in preseason. He was fine in 2020 with no games.

I’m pleasantly surprised that the NFL is not giving in to the original decision. I wonder if they are being pressured by the other Owners to punish the Browns indirectly for that absurd contract. I also wonder if they know more about the cases than the general public and are afraid more stuff could come out at some point.

Plus not having a cool logo on the helmet is lame.

It should be that dude who gave Wilford Brimley massages in the movie The Natural. If that doesn’t prevent an erection nothing will.

I think Goodell will move it to an 8 game suspension to make it look like they are playing it a little tougher. All part of the plan. 8 games was the target for all several weeks ago.

When would he be available to play? Christmas at best?

Not a tattoo except but that one wins.

Now that is a proper football uniform. Like what Beast said above, put the charging Buffalo decal on that helmet and no more discussion about uniforms ever.

Edmunds needs his own message board. College Football Off the Wall Edmunds News and Rumors

I don’t believe anything that is printed this time of year, including Bills related stuff. Just training camp speak.

Not liking changing helmet colors just for the sake of it. Okay if they wore that helmet during their history. NFL will start looking like a lot of these dumb ass college teams.
