Buffalo Bills release rookie punter Matt Araiza after rape accusation, civil lawsuit
"We tried to be thorough and thoughtful and not rush to judgment, and I would say it's not easy. You're trying to put facts around a legal situation sometimes with limited information," Beane said. "There are many things that we could not get our hands on. This was about letting Matt go handle his situation. This is bigger than football."Araiza was selected by Buffalo in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL draft in late April after playing at San Diego State.
Dan Gilleon, the teen's attorney, criticized Armstrong in a statement issued to USA TODAY Sports following Araiza's release. "If Matt Araiza had shown 1% of the grace that my client has, perhaps by offering an apology and donating his money to a charity serving rape survivors, he would still be a Buffalo Bill and his parents could sit in the stands and watch their son with pride. Instead, he decided to hire an attorney who knew only to viciously attack the young woman his client had raped.
