As long as the Chiefs punt often, go ahead and punt the crap out it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 in the one or two times the Bills D actually forces the Chiefs to punt, this could come back to haunt the Bills!🙂 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Gotta love that Schefty calls the Chiefs signing a punter who spent all year on the street a "big development". I mean...if you say so, bruh. 4 1 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Good pick-up. The only caveat is that he's just a boomer - not nearly as good at placement. I'd bet the Chiefs average punt position is far closer to midfield than most teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Seems a bit strange, first of all the timing, but more importantly they already have a terrific punter in Townsend. So unless they are releasing him for salary issues this signing makes little sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure but again the timing is very strange, unless he's due for a roster bonus or something and they are going to release him. But he's one of the leagues better punters. This feels like a due diligence move and nothing more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrMaxPower Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 In truth, this is pretty meaningless. How often does KC punt from deep in their end? Maybe 10 times a season? Still, why did it have to be the effing Chiefs?? Now I can't wish him well. Screw em all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 That one punt he had for us preseason was insane. Probably the best punter you could have when you're pinned deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 If the Chiefs bring in Beasley then they may as well rebrand as the KC Heroes because this guy is switching allegiances. Its going to be expensive replacing all my Bills gear with Heroes apparel but it will be worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Comical.

FilthyBeast Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 This is no real surprise considering the Chiefs have a history of signing guys with red flags and baggage....which also proves that 'lockerroom culture' doesn't really matter when you have the right head coach, QB, etc. Obviously in Araiza's case he appears to be cleared of wrong doing and knowing the Bills luck he's going to be an all pro punter for the next decade in KC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Also wait don’t they have a pretty decent punter already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Our punter hasn’t been his best self in about a season and a half. I would’ve liked Araiza to have signed a futures contract, considering we did invest a draft pick in him. 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Don't be mad or depressed that the Chiefs signed Araiza. When you see those 70-80 yard punts sailing through the air, take comfort knowing the Bills did the right thing kowtowing to the Twitter mob. 4 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Not surprising now that the legal issues are behind him. Townsend's contract's up so maybe they don't want to pay to keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLinALLEN Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Because of course he is...FWIW the Bills would never have resigned him and everyone here clamoring for that was nuts. You think he would willingly sign with an organization that cut him/stunted his career before he was even proven innocent?

I had come to terms with the fact we wouldn’t be the ones who signed him after all the bs that went on… However, Kansas City?… because, of course it’s Kansas City.
