This is revisionist history.  Bills were Super Bowl FAVORITES heading into that season.  Bills’ options were to cut him or roster him.  There was ZERO chance the Bills were going to endure daily distractions by rostering a player alleged to have raped a minor.  ZERO.  Fair? No, not fair at all but that was the reality at the time.

Bills could have put a gag order on talking about it with everyone. Problem solved.

 

as media keeps asking and EVERYONE says "no comment" they will stop eventually. LOL

We don't know that we didn't try to sign him back. No team was going to sign him mid season.

 

If you're Matt Araiza, are you re-signing to the team that let you go and has a veteran under contract that you'd have to compete with or are you signing with the Super Bowl Champions who have a hole at Punter and are just going to give you the job?

I just checked ... Ertz had 5 more catches than Knox last year.

Which says a lot more about Knox than it does about the continued value of Ertz.

 

Knox was injured.  And we have Kincaid also.

The media and way too many people live in a guilty until proven innocent world these days 


He made some historically bad choices with that girl, regardless of his guilt in what he was accused of. That’s not at all the culture McDermott and Beane have built here.

 

Especially for a punter.

You also gotta think he heard a lot of stuff from fans too...prob just wants a fresh start

 

Yes it's all these "fans" who don't like Beane and McD so this is an easy thing to blame him for, he let him get away.  But highly likely Buffalo was the last place he wanted to re-sign with. 

 

Wouldn't surprise me either if the Bills had heard rumors about this either before they drafted him, or at a minimum heard about it prior to the story breaking over the summer.  Likely asked Araiza about it, and I'm sure justifiably denied it all, but maybe did withhold some info from the Bills and didn't give them the full story about what may come out.  So the Bills may feel he wasn't totally honest with them either and for that reason had no desire to go after him.

Why would you sign here if you were him?
