Who knows what the public was swayed by? But after the civil trial and Araiza is (still) in the clear, there's nothing more to be said or done. There's no need to rush into signing him. And unlike with Kaep, Araiza has shown promise and will cost the league minimum.

And I don't see the reason to complicate things for the rookie by having him learn more than 1 position, much less opposite to the side he played and dominated at in college. Maybe a move next year to the left side might be in the offing, but for now, KISS.

Bates is the fallback for Morse. And good thing that Edwards is being paid like a backup.

So I'll put you down for fat jeans.

Better than wearing fat jeans.

Which is why teams are waiting on the outcome of the civil trial. Again this has nothing to do with criminal or civil court, just the court of public opinion as you stated.

Lying or dementia, neither is good.

What are you saying then? You've admitted he's been cleared of wrongdoing and if there were anything implicating him it would have already been presented, so nothing will come out during the civil trial, right? Yet you wonder why he hasn't been signed and started talking about him being the 3rd punter taken. That suggests you think he's not worth even bringing into camp as competition, despite, again, answering many of the questions about him prior to the draft.

Russian. Collusion. BOO!

I'm surprised the NAACP hasn't declared all of the US racist...

Pretty much sums up the libs: if it sounds believable, believe it no matter what.

Yup. The lengths they've gone to excuse/protect him says it all.

Beats "he was the 3rd punter taken so he sucks" as the reason why he's not signed. Talk about heavy lifting.

The fact that Q Wallet put out that notice...

It's bizarre. There are so many other ambiguous things to make up, why lie about his height and weight, which are easily verifiable?

True. But that doesn't mean you should put, say, Penthouse magazine in a kid's library. Hmmm, let us guess...

You asked me why he hasn't been signed and the only explanation I could give was because the civil trial is still ongoing and maybe a team/teams think something could come out there. I have no doubt he's free and clear. And yes, he's just a punter. But last time I checked, all 32 teams use one and there aren't 32 good ones in the NFL, much less 50+ including camp legs, and he showed tons of promise last pre-season.

"Suddenly shaky?" LOL! I've been rock steady with my prediction that he would be exonerated ever since I heard she claimed to have told him she was 17. I just didn't know how much evidence there would be against her, to probably even sink her case against the other guys. No WEO, you're the only one who's shaky. No doubt you're holding out hope there's something against him that Gilleon has. But his case is a loser mostly because his client is one. He just has to keep up the charade. How long do you?

You should join the circus...

What are we just making ***** up now?

Maybe he's hoping there are jurors like you who believed he was guilty before any evidence came out, and who still may have doubt?

So? It doesn’t mean he couldn’t turn out to be. Again you’ll have to ask Gilleon. He must think he has an ace up his sleeve considering he hasn’t withdrawn the civil suit. Or more likely he’s an idiot who doesn’t know when to quit.

No idea. Could have been the allegations and/or that he wasn’t a proven holder for kicks and/or he wasn’t a polished product.

Was that the one with the scene from “dances with wolves”?

You’ll have to ask Gilleon what his strategy is. My guess is that he’s going to claim the rape happened after the video taped encounters were done, and try and play on the heartstrings of the jury by showing her piercings being ripped out, marks on her body and her tearful testimony. He’ll probably also try to say that just because arise it wasn’t on tape and a witness saw him leave, it doesn’t mean he didn’t do it.
