Chiefs sign Matt "Punt God" Araiza

DanMetroMan : 2/22/2024 3:25 pm
per his agent
Good for him

I hope he can get his career on track. Now the Chiefs special teams will be even deadlier though.
This has always been Andy Reid's MO

Hall of Fame Coach, but he has zero issue bringing "bad character" guys into his lockerroom.
Wasn't he

exonerated a decent while ago? Surprised it took this long for a team to sign him

The prosecutors office made the announcement last spring that they wouldn't file charges against him and that video showed him leaving the party before anything happened.

While true on the whole re Reid, prosecutors determined that Araiza left the party an hour prior to the gang rape, and he was cleared of charges.
I'm surprised it took this long, too

Of course the Giants wouldn't sign him. Why not when we have a perfectly lousy punter right now.

Losing franchise keeps doing losing things.

I thought the Scottish Hammer had a good 23 season.
So we are a losing franchise because the Chefs signed a punterr???

I wouldn't go so far as to call him lousy, but hey, at least he has a dorky nickname too

He improved this season in his net yards/punt, but I still don't trust him.
Thank God the Giants didn't know LT

was who he was or we wouldn't have drafted him. Time to judge players on their ability and desire to be great. The stuff outside the lines only matters if it affects the team. And it rarely does if the player shows up between the lines. Listen to the reverence with which Phil Simms talks about LT, while bashing his lifestyle. While sticking with Gilliam was a much better decision than I gave it credit for, Araiza would have been a good signing.
Now I'm pissed off again

remembering how Reese passed on perennial all-pro LT Laremy Tunsil b/c Tunsil's estranged stepfather released a video of him smoking weed with a gas mask on in his college dorm room at Ole Miss and instead freaked out and picked Eli Apple 10th overall.

Isn't this the guy who was drafted by Buffalo and then they cut him? But, there was film showing that he could not have possibly committed the crime that he was accused of?

How is being falsely accused = bad character?

This wasn't a case of "we just didn't have the evidence there to prosecute him." It was a case of "video shows he was not there when the crime was committed."

So is the guy just always going to be a bad character guy because he was mistakenly accused of something he clearly didn't do?
