If he comes to a settlement and DA doesn't prosecute then he could get picked up later in the year, but until that is resolved, not team can touch him without getting a nuclear meltdown of PR.

You believe money makes a rape victim whole?

I notice you have a lot to say, but don't want to elaborate on your statement about making a rape victim whole. Please, enlighten us.

If it's true.. How, exactly, do you think you make a rape victim "whole"?

Regardless, Araiza made bad decisions that put him in a situation where he was exposed. Since then he kept it from the team in some capacity. His lawyer is doing things that are inappropriate and apparently not communicating to the Bills what they're doing. They don't need this distraction. McDermott looked shook. This could easily snowball if it was kept from McDermott somewhere along the line. Cut him now. He can cry into his guaranteed $700,000.

Kids do as they see their parents do..

Well, it's Case Keenum and 2nd/3rd string for the Bills. It's the 90% of the starting offense for the Patriots against Raiders backups.

Would you also like to tell us the sky is blue?

even though the starters didn't play for the most part, hopefully this is sobering and gets them focused on week 1

because of duke? Duke wasn't making the team before this game started.

Mixed bag.

That would be more impressive than 17-0 honestly

I'm guessing the mods are leaving this open to contain it. Otherwise, you'd have someone making a new thread on it every 5 minutes and talking about it in other threads. People have very little self control and wouldn't be able to help themselves. So while, in theory, I'd agree that all that can be said about this has been said.. in practice, it's probably for the best that this thread keeps going.

Read the article.

*if* the Bills knew and they should have known.. this is bad. The investigators hired by NFL teams are not slouches and an active police investigation is not hard to find. They have made a very large blunder for.. a punter. Guilty or innocent, this was a bad move for the Bills and they need to get a lot of information very quickly. If it looks like he was involved, they need to make the right decision very quickly and give a good explanation to the fans.

If the NFL regulates player behavior at a strip club.. I think a joint practice is likely fair game. I don't think he gets anything for this though.

I think the gase comparison is because he's hailed as an offensive genius with little to no resume that makes that case.

Mongo followed that same O line coach to the Giants. I wouldn't put much stock in anything Mongo says at this point. Did you see the crap he pulled in giants camp? He "played dead" then got up and sucker punched another player. I agree that Bobby Johnsons was not an effective coach for the way the Bills want to play.

The players do apparently love him because he lets have time off to go smoke weed and whatnot. Like kids love grandma who lets them eat all the candy they want.. I had Miami as the clear #2 in the division, but the more I see of them.. along with the hilarious attempts at propaganda around Tua's ability to throw deep. Like, who cares if people think Tua can do it? If he's doing it, then everyone will find out week 1. The very fact that they think they need to do all this promotion of Tua (after trying to replace him at all costs the last couple years) just reeks.

I have no idea why so many Miami fans are so in love with him.. Shanahan wouldn't even make him offensive coordinator until last year when LaFluer left for the Jets. They literally had no offensive coordinator instead of making him coordinator.

The NFL has been changing the rules to promote passing and scoring. DBs used to be able to mug guys and that often took awhile for WRs to learn to deal with. The rules being enforced to the degree they are now makes it a lot easier for WRs to transition to the NFL.

Hill was KC's #1 WR, but he's not their #1 pass catcher. They did not move on from Kelce. Let's see what happens in GB. Rodgers is already complaining that his WRs suck.

Hodgins *can* play special teams and has been taking snaps there. The question is whether the difference between Hodgins and Kumerow's ability on specials is worth keeping Kumerow who seems to offer less at WR. Then to a question of whether you want to keep 7 WRs or keep a guy like Cam Lewis.

I have my doubts on this evaluation. I'd be interested in specific examples so we can pull up the clips and evaluate. He had a fair number of catches and yards for not being able to pull away.. like quit a bit more than Dawson Knox who had way more talent on the field with him than Gesicki did and Knox was really, really good as a pass catcher last year.
