    Correct.

    No i didn't. He can still be traded if he agrees to the trade. There are teams he might want to go to and this contract makes him a more attractive trade target.

    The agent doesn’t get to decide…Lance has looked bad in preseason…Jimmy may get an opportunity to start again with the 49ers, and the new contract makes him more tradable if something opens up during the season….

    NFL Top 100

    mannc replied to elijah's topic in The Stadium Wall

    Any list that doesn’t have Mahomes and Allen in the top 3 should be immediately discarded. Mahomes at 8 is almost as ridiculous as Allen at 13.

    And we don’t know if he actually admitted anything…Gilleon says he admitted having sex with her…no tape or transcript has been released.

    No, his goal is whatever his client tells him his goal is. If he wasn’t willing to fight for Araiza’s job, then Araiza had the right to replace him with someone who would.
  7. mannc
    Usually that’s true, but not in this case. Araiza was fighting for his reputation and his career.

    Not under California law, apparently.

    Yes, because it’s unheard of for a punter to be signed off the street and perform well…
  10. mannc
    Maybe, but if he had articulated a compelling defense he could at least have bought more time…he didn’t give the Bills anything to work with.
  11. mannc
    Not if he didn’t outright lie about it. Happens all the time.
  12. mannc
    He probably wouldn’t outright lie about what’s on there, but he could mislead and take it wildly out of context. There really wouldn’t be any consequences for that.
  13. mannc
    They might have, which makes Araiza’s weak response even more inexplicable.
  14. mannc
    I don’t doubt there is a tape, but I certainly would not trust Gilleon to accurately and fairly report what is on it.

    Araiza had at least a month to come up with a response, even though the complaint wasn’t filed until Thursday. They could have hired investigators, found witnesses who could back up his story. He should have anticipated a public furor. And Araiza could have issued a comprehensive denial, which he never did. His official statement was pathetic and weak.

    What kind of review process are you talking about? I’ve never heard of such a thing. Is it performed by a clerk? A judge? What are they reviewing it for?
  17. mannc
    That’s technically true, but I think the lack of a prompt and compelling response by Araiza sealed his fate. Maybe there just aren’t any exculpatory facts available to him right now…
  18. mannc
    If Araiza and his lawyer had put together a more coherent, convincing response, the Bills might have at least let this play out a little longer. They failed.
  19. mannc
    I agree that a case number has to be assigned but that happens almost instantaneously
  20. mannc
    Once the complaint has been filed, the lawyer can issue the subpoenas and there is no court approval process. The lawyer has to give reasonable notice to the other parties and the witness. It may be worthless, but it cost Araiza his job.
  21. mannc
    Someone WAY down thread produced a link that appears reliable, stating that the prosecutor has to prove there was no reasonable mistake about the victim’s age.

    I agree that trial by social media is awful, but it’s also a reality in some cases. Team Araiza found themselves in a social media “trial” not of their own choosing, and they got crushed. I’m not sure how you could dispute that. Zero chance
  23. mannc
    I’d agree that they were more professional than Gilleon, but their failure to respond to the allegations more forcefully and convincingly cost their client his job. They were in a bare-knuckles brawl and were operating out of the wrong playbook.
  24. mannc
    I don’t believe that’s correct. The court does not have to “review the complaint and make a decision” before he can issue subpoenas, and the court doesn’t review or issue the subpoenas themselves. Generally true, but not in this case. Araiza’s counsel was thoroughly unprepared and their client is now paying the price.
  25. mannc
    I don’t agree with much you’ve said on this matter, but I fully agree with your last sentence. Team Araiza did not distinguish itself over the last three days.
