I would. For an organization who preaches culture and has shied away from drafting and signing players with character issues or previous legal trouble I would expect them to practice what they preach. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a very early post on this thread about it though, for whatever reason, it was overlooked by the press. It was overlooked by EVERYONE. Not much gets past TBD members. If something was out there we would have had a 400-page thread on it before now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this statement didn't seem smart for a lot of reasons. Wouldn't he presumably have more money as a Bill? Also he does seem to withdraw an offer. Also I'd presume the other lawyer has the other half of this conversation including the offer that was withdrawn.

So all it would take is an accusation? Maybe Bill Belichick knows someone who went to Wyoming around the same time Josh was there. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 1000% understand where you are coming from, putting him on leave makes more sense than cutting. For all we know the team has already investigated. Teams know shakedowns happen, A LOT. Vets usually sit with rookies and have that talk with them. The timing of this is very telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say the same thing I said about ariza. Put him on leave send him away from the team until it’s resolved if found guilty then cut him if not he can return. My moral compass is bigger than the bills 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inthebuff Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 3 hours ago, Beck Water said: So the accusations are horrid, but it's not clear that Araiza is being accused of rape? Note that while described as "a minor", the alleged victim was then 17 years old, which is above the age of consent anywhere, and what Araiza did is not being described as "rape", but as "having sex with". I'm going to let this one play out. In California, it is illegal for someone 18 or older to have sex with someone younger than 18, even if the sex is consensual. This is considered statutory rape under state law. Statutory rape laws are based on the assumption that minors are incapable of giving informed consent to sexual activities.
