McDermott/Beane press conference 8/27: Matt Araiza released

[Airseven]

Is all this silly hype and anticipation simply about Araiza getting released? When he does, then what? Hugs? What exactly are people craving to hear?
 

Hopefully they address the initial 53, some of the injury decisions, and fringe roster competition.

Good to see its Beane taking the lead now

Bills go weak and cave. Disappointing but inevitable.

So far, Beane is being as forthright as he can be. He's doing a very, very good job.

A victory for emotion over reason. Would rather have seen a balanced approach from the team, league, and society. Welcome to 2022 I guess..

 

I wonder how the rest of the NFL feels about anyone with an ax to grind and a sleazy lawyer being able to turn the outcomes of games, seasons, careers, with well timed Twitter ambushes. Is it too much to wonder, with the amount of wagering that is constantly being promoted, that where the sums are great and the margins are thin that anything becomes fair game?

They did the right thing for the Buffalo Bills.

A full investigation will take months and would have massive negative implications on a team that has a super bowl shot. 

[Mark Vader]

What a shame.

 

The Bills were put in a bad situation, and they had very little choice.

[SectionC3]

Adios.  They had no choice.

It sucks for Araiza, and it's totally unfair, but it's probably the right thing for the Bills.

Disagree.  Reason is a big part of this.  How do you move forward  as a team with something like this lingering?  Not all the facts are known and it will take time for all of the facts to be revealed.  The Bills did not have that time.

sorry for shouting but you’re the 400th person to use this asinine argument: 

 

DUE PROCESS AND “INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY” DO NOT APPLY TO PRIVATE EMPLOYERS. THIS IS NOT A COURT OF LAW.
