That’s not good enough. They fired him on false allegations. Do the right thing and sign him if Araiza wants it. 
We don’t need some backup DT that will be barely used. 

No, they didn’t. Because nobody knew whether the allegations were false or not at the time.

You don’t abandon family on allegations. We quit on someone who needed it most. I hope the rest of the players take notice.

If this organization had any brass, they would have issued a statement that said we will not negotiate with guilty until proven innocent mob. We are family and will support each other until a crime is proven. 
They need to fix this by re-signing Araiza. 

ok so you just want to attack the bills.. got it...  sorry but it was 100% right to release him at the time.. and I see you totally ignored the part asking how do you know they haven't reached out.

Family sometimes has to make difficult decisions which are better for everyone in the long term.  Shirley you must be aware of this.

Our legal system grinds out it's outcomes much too slowly to fit the timeline of a team on a Super Bowl mission.  Her scumbag lawyer actually did the Bills a favor by forcing this all to come out in August rather than at some point later in the season.   How much more of a circus would that have been?  It certainly did his client no favor.   Araiza hadn't even made much money on his contract yet.

 

When the video of her taken at the Halloween party from the night before came out, that was pretty much the end of any criminal charges, imo.  Her lawyer's intension to pursue the civil case will fail too.  The Bills had no choice but to cut him but I got the feeling that they felt that Matt was not totally truthful with them after Dan Gilleon sent them the civil suit and the details that were therein. 

 

Good thing for those accused that everyone has a camera with them now and that they are willing to record everything they do and observe.  In this case, this would amount to child pornography as she was under 18 at the time and prosecutors are even reluctant to share it with the defense.  

 

As for the accuser, it is easy to sell victimhood to most anyone.  It's what many lawyers do.  She said she couldn't remember many important details that their subsequent "investigations" later revealed.  She should drop the suit, apologize and blame the lawyer for the over reach.  Most of we the public would accept that, I think.

I doubt the Bills, or any other team, will reach out yet as the lawyer seems determined to take him through civil court (unless this has been dropped too, but I don't think it has?) Be found guilty there and no team will want him on their books.

You’ve convinced me.  We should have paraded the 22 year old kid in front of a hostile national media week after week after week to show our support.  It would have made his life far worse, but we may have netted 2 extra yards per punt.

Not a family I want to be apart of. 

Did your mommy buy you Lucky Charms every time you pouted?

Who are we to decide on what makes someone’s life worse. That decision should have been Araiza’s choice and his alone.

Your crusade is getting old. Good luck tilting at those windmills.

That’s you believing their PR. That’s a you problem. The Bills are a business.

He told you to “just stop”.  Why didn’t you obey?

Do you love WalMart like a sister because they give you a ham for Christmas?

Plus they have Lucky Charms at discounted prices!
