If the fanbase has spent 246+ pages discussing allegations about a punter over a period of 48 hours or so... I think it's safe to say this is enough of a distraction for the team that he has to be let go. To compare, there were only 107 pages of posts in Josh Allen's draft thread: Oh the reactions that day. Embarrassing to read now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not something any team can request. Possibly someone did. I'm not sure. Just posting what I have read. This thread moves to fast for me to keep up with so I havent read all the comments.

Beck Water Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 7 minutes ago, Buffalo716 said: I don’t doubt that something happened But a rape kit should be able to get DNA and everything… Especially if she went to the cops right after There should be a Lot of evidence The problem with DNA evidence alone, being blunt here, is that it doesn't tell the jury whether or not the actions that put it there were consensual. If the young woman says "I can't remember what happened" while (sorry to be graphic) the alleged rapists say "she was saying "Oh yeah give it to me baby!" we had no reason to think she didn't consent" what's the jury gonna do? Even bruises and strangulation marks can be explained away by "she said she wanted it rough". Retrograde amnesia is a Thing with certain drugs. Drugging someone is a crime, but then you get into the question of "who gave her the drugs and did the alleged rapists have knowledge she was drugged and couldn't give meaningful consent?" It's a mess to prosecute. It's far more likely that's why the DA is sitting on this, than that they're just ignoring it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKBillFan Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 The other issue the Bills will have to be careful with is how Araiza's departure is handled with the press. They will probably need to tread carefully not to imply innocence or guilt, which means we may not get any answers on McDermott's implications yesterday. Wouldn't be surprised if tonight's conference is a statement regarding Araiza but with a request not to ask questions on the subject/no comment answers.

Beck Water Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 18 minutes ago, Scott7975 said: I read in an article that I posted in this thread that the NFL already said they wont do anything because this happened before he was drafted. The NFL can't discipline him - they won't suspend him without pay or such. Neither can the club. But the commissioner's exempt list description is deliberately vague, so it isn't totally clear to me that they couldn't be applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven233 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) If the reports are true of his locker being cleaned out and his nameplate gone, they are probably putting the final touches on the termination. My guess is if the Bills do this right, they may be able to get back some, if not all. of his salary or something. That's probably what the holdup is.
