Maybe it’s just me, but if he’s never criminally charged or held liable in civil court, he’s going to get another chance in the league. You just know someone will do it. He’s too talented. If he truly is innocent (which I'm still pretty skeptical he did absolutely nothing wrong at this point) then he’d be worth bringing back. We are currently punter-less and we did burn a pick on him. I wonder if he holds a grudge against the Bills, but even he has to understand he put the team in an impossible position just before the start of the season.

We'll see what happens with his legal stuff. We have a good punter now, luckily, so if he gets another shot in the NFL is will probably be with a different team.


Nothing really to see with his legal stuff. Despite all that was alleged, and all the pressure put on that DA’s office, they couldn’t even charge the guy in good faith. The investigation exposed the plaintiff as a liar. I believe Matt was doing nothing but average college jock stuff and ended up in a very unfortunate situation. I really hope he gets another crack at it. Not sure if it’ll be with us cause end of the day, optics matter. Glad to see he’s back to doing what he loves.

Martin is a free agent.  I'm not sure what his asking price is but Araiza could be an interesting plan B if Beane thinks he's not worth the investment.

They proved that?

If true she cost him his job and reputation, and a counter suit seems to be in order.

Martin was excellent. It would be a real shame if he walked.

I’m not sure this applies to a punter. A QB? Absolutely. A WR? Probably. But a punter? The difference in average punt by 5 yards probably isn’t enough to move the needle in favor of signing someone who is going to come with a ton of negative publicity.
