There could be details that come from it which might lead to a bad PR situation at the very least. Different rules for 6th round punters vs. franchise QBs and all was my thinking. So it is interesting to me that the Jets are giving him a shot now even though that means I was wrong. He is not on the Commissioners "bad boy list" so I don't think a possible Civil suit is much of an obstacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Says Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I believe Araiza is suing the school,San Diego State, for some statements or leaks that damaged his reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Wish it wasn’t the Jets but I’m happy he can get back to work and try to rebuild his life/image after having his character shredded through the media circus. I remember being pretty active in the monster thread when all this drama went down and I could understand the fans that just wanted the drama away from the team cause the focus was Super Bowl. I was on the side of wanting the league to step in and put him on the exempt list (was quite a debate about if they could even do it since the incident was from college) But then there were those who read HER attorneys accusations as facts and wanted him under a jail immediately and boy were they active that week.

Brandon Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 That sucks, but at the same time, best of luck to him. I never thought the story added up and I'm glad to see that NFL teams are apparently willing to give him another chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and everyone else knows very well that had these bogus allegations not come out, Araiza is on the opening day roster. You could give a thousand "maybes" but the Bills weren't cutting him at such a late date and jeopardizing his chemistry with Bass for anything but extraordinary circumstances, like this was. Dude whatever. You stated something that was 100% false. Own it. It doesn’t really matter how many people believed it. It was false. The only demonstrated fact about the Haack cut is that Haack was no longer a viable option for the Bills. ALL of the rest is speculation/probables. I could list some probables that refute yours but there really isn’t a point, The probables I’d list actually came to pass….admittedly with the benefit of having hindsight….but your probables, stated as facts by you, proved untrue. 55 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: Yes....the "chemistry" with Bass....lol, come on. In this thread I am frustrated that he is making me agree with you.

Case closed. It's not illegal in CA when the girl falsely claims she is of age and lying. Also you're trusting the defense attorney to be 100 factual in a statement to the press. Further, the institution of American justice is innocent until proven guilty. You have no respect for this process and thus should have no respect given to you. My heart breaks for the way in which so many Americans agree with your opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is interesting to me that the Jets are giving him a shot now even though that means I was wrong. I doubt he has any real grounds for a lawsuit against the nfl. No player is guaranteed employment in the league regardless of their talent. He could have a lawsuit a gainst the accuser as he was proven to have left that location before the incident took place so could not have assaulted the girl. He gets to choose what teams he will tryout for basically getting a early shot at being a free agent while not failing to impress with his punting skills. Maybe he's always been a Jets fan or they were one team that offered him a shot to compete for a roster spot. Hope he does well except of course when he plays against the Bills if he does land a spit on any other nfl team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Bills should have had stood by a rookie punter who had a rape charge hanging over his head when they were SB contenders. That definitely won’t have been a distraction. For a punter. Brilliant! Guess why the Steelers stood by Big Rape when got accused (thank god he didn’t kneel!)? Because he’s a star qb. No team with a brain is standing by a punter with that charge. Is it right l? Hell no, but it absolutely idiotic to blame the Bills for not wanting to deal with the headache. For a punter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 2 hours ago, The Jokeman said: Good yes, but Martin doesn't have a leg that can flip the field which Araiza can, toss in the latter likely be cheaper. Here are 2 reasons why the Bills wouldn't have re-signed Araiza; 1) Martin got a lot of money & it would be a dead cap hit of $2,265,000 if he got cut before playing this season. So at least for 2023 he's the punter. https://overthecap.com/player/sam-martin/2246 2) Martin is a proven veteran holder. Araiza is still a question mark as a holder.

If you read the allegation to the letter, she accuses his teammates of raping her, not Araiza himself. She says he "threw her onto the bed" but never directly accuses him of participating in the alleged gang rape. Her attorney just used Araiza's name to draw attention to the complaint. But he chose his words very carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
