The Buffalo Bills football team has released Matt Araiza from their roster after sexual assault allegations against him came to light.
“We have released Punter Matt Araiza,” general manager, Brandon Beane, said in a Saturday, August 27, statement, which was shared via the team’s website. “This afternoon, we decided that releasing Matt Araiza was the best thing to do. Our culture in Buffalo, [New York], is more important than winning football games.”
Beane continued: “We just think it’s the best move for everyone to move on from Matt and let him take care of this situation and focus [on] that. … We don’t have all the answers. We’re not perfect. But I can tell you, as Sean [McDermott, the head coach] said earlier, we just tried to do what was right. And has everything been perfect? No. But in our heart of hearts, I can lay my head down at night knowing that I’ve tried to do what’s right, and I know he has too.”
Araiza, 22, was drafted by the NFL team in the sixth round earlier this year ahead of his eventual Saturday release.
“The Bills believe the decision to move on from Araiza was more than just a football decision,” the team’s Saturday statement added. “It’s a very serious situation, and with the serious nature of allegations, we don’t have the means to put all the facts together. There’s multiple versions of what happened and … we don’t have access to everything and so that’s more important than playing football. And so, we want Matt to focus on that.”
The NFL punter — and two of his former San Diego State University football teammates — were accused of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl last year, per a lawsuit filed on Thursday, August 25.
