ColoradoBills Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 1 minute ago, Boatdrinks said: I think he will end up in another team. It’s too soon imo to say whether I like the release or not. Hopefully we will find out why they made the decision. If he lied to McD , Beane or anyone else in the Bills organization then I agree with the move 100%. If it turns out they did it based on anything else then there’s plenty of room for skepticism. It wasn't for the Bills evidently. The only thing left is what I said. If no one picks him up, the other 31 GMs feel the same way. We will know Monday at 4 PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he won't ever play in the NFL again. But I think he's got to clear his name with this first before anyone signs him. Quite possibly another team may not view it as that much of a distraction. It’s the NFL after all. I agree the position isn’t way up in the hierarchy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be determined that he wasn't. I got the opposite. Beane wouldn't answer when asked if MA with held info, but inadvertently confirmed that he had. Beane said they didn't know anything during the draft, and that Araiza's agent knew nothing. But Araiza had been investigated by the police prior to the draft, and allegations were made against him on campus at SD State. So Araiza failed to disclose during the pre-draft process to the Bills or his agent. 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Note also the restructuring of Dion's contract which Beane did to create some room this week will come in handy to take on a little higher punter salary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
