Just saying, I don't see why he couldn't be a Bill at some point It's not like Martins contract would kill us in dead cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I read about the woman talking about how she was going to increase her body count by more than one I figured it was all BS she made up once her parents found out to prevent getting in trouble for being a super slut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, what you say is true, however, rape does happen on these campuses and in these frat houses Mostly goes unreported As the evidence comes out, I hope that he can get his career back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be surprised if they even send out a tweet about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's alot more of these type girls than ppl realize, especially at frat parties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behindenemylines Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I haven’t followed much of this but did t he admit to having sex wit her earlier in the evening? if wrongfully accused for sake of $ I hope he can sue her and her scumbag attorney for everything they ever get and have if it’s truly made up. As someone stated earlier once you’re accused you’ll always be guilty to a % of the population. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorites were the comments here asserting that Araiza had admitted to raping the "victim"--based entirely on the contents of a press release from the esteemed Mr. Gilleon, who would never, ever lie, or even stretch the truth... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be when evidence of Araiza's innocence turned up. I bet this lawyer was banking on this high profile case being his "big break".

BillsNutHawaii Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 49 minutes ago, HappyDays said: The Bills did nothing wrong. I respect that Beane didn't jump on the bandwagon, I could tell that he found it difficult to let Araiza go after the Bills had run their own investigation and found nothing incriminating. But there was a black cloud hanging over the team after the allegation came out and it just isn't worth holding on to a punter with that kind of baggage. I just hope he gets his NFL career back. "...I could tell that he found it difficult to let Araiza go..." I have no proof, (But these days, who needs proof, right?) but I strongly suspect team ownership forced the GM's hand - just to avoid backlash from those who make the most noise and to present the appearance that they are on the right side of the issues. What a pathetic sequence of events. May those who falsely judged Matt Araiza be judged the same way when they face a personal crisis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 The Bills cut ties with him for this very reason. It was never guilt or innocence, it was the media circus and the unnecessary attention it brought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What legal argument could he make that the Bills broke a law or violated a contract? As far as I know, "wrongful termination" isn't a thing for NFL players.

Royale with Cheese Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I feel terrible for the kid. Its every kids dream to play pro sports and his was ripped away over something false. He should be able to land in camp somewhere. He needs to be given the chance that was taken away. If the Bills hadn’t extended our punter (I honestly don’t know his name off the top of my head because he’s a punter without a cool nickname), I would say it would be the right thing to do to sign him back. I really hope he lands somewhere and dominates at his position. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
