This happened over a year ago and no criminal charges but a civil suit, if he was involved and did this then the police should have been involved and he should have been charged. 2 1

Remove him from the team and if it's false he can sue the girls family for defamation but we are in a Super Bowl window and a punter isn't worth anything right or wrong... How a about defensive end? Quarterback? It’s either not worth it for everyone or no one….

He also lasted until round 6. There is plenty of history of ***** kickers and punters drafted in the top 3 rounds. Just doesn’t add up. I think teams knew. He actually wasn't the top punter on many teams' boards. Media hype...fan hype...etc in no way equates to actual draft study and research. More teams had Stout as the top punter on the board, not Araiza, and some had him lower than 2. All Araiza was confirmed good at was kicking long, that's not the name of the game in the NFL. John Daily could always hit the golf ball long, but he wasn't as good at the other parts of his game. Araiza got all the hype because there is literally nothing at all exciting about a punter, so when people saw one with a catchy nickname and booming kicks that long, it created a hoopla over him. But punting in the NFL is all about hang time and precision, not distance. The distance is great, but without the other 2 you won't be a Punter very long in the NFL. So given he had several areas to prove himself on and work on, he was not the top punter in the draft, just the most talked about because he was the only one who wasn't boring. He was the most intriguing though, just unproven on if he can deliver hang time and accuracy. Edited August 26, 2022 by Alphadawg7 1 1

They have to have more info. They would of cut him immediately tonight if this just dropped on them with no knowledge or heads up from him or the agent. 2

UKBillFan Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 2 minutes ago, aristocrat said: That tallies with my thinking - they found out on or around 30th July. So why keep him and cut Haack? I mean, to be blunt, perhaps they were very unimpressed with Haack and decided they could pick up an upgrade on him via waivers but… 1

Agree give it some time but the first reaction does not look good on McBeane and the culture. This could spiral out of control in the locker room and the season. 1 1 1 2

Prospector Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 I haven't really looked too much into this, so I can't say where I put my flag. But when I played college ball, we had a team mate who was at our party for the whole night, (the whole night, because we were with him the entire time and he slept on the couch). a couple weeks later, the coaches informed us that he had been removed from the team, because his then girlfriend accused him of rape the same night as the party... which she was not at. Apparently they had spat a couple days after the party, and she didn't want to break up, so this was her way of getting back at him. To everyone on the outside, he looked like a monster, but to everyone who knew him and the situation, it was very very sad. I am not saying this is Araiza's situation, but there have been countless situations of false accusations and real rape situations. I would like to see real evidence before I start throwing stones. 4 3

Process Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 This is very interesting and surprising. I feel like there has to be more to this.
UKBillFan Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 2 minutes ago, Beck Water said: So initially this was also my take. But at the time, I was not aware of California's statutory rape law, which sets the age of consent at 18. So it doesn't matter if she consented or not or was too inebriated to give consent or not Statutory rape with consent being given would still be treated differently to outright rape, though.
