The New York Jets have become the first NFL team to give former Bills punter Matt Araiza a workout since the young specialist was cleared of criminal wrongdoing in a rape probe from last year.
, “The civil lawsuit alleged that the incident occurred at an off-campus party when the accuser was 17 years old and under age. Araiza’s attorney immediately called fraud on the claims. ‘It’s a shakedown because he’s now with the Buffalo Bills,’ attorney Kerry Armstrong told theThose strong denials did nothing to deter Buffalo from cutting the prized punter. Finally, however, after a lengthy investigation, the facts of the case proved Araiza’s innocence.
Matt Araiza #PK01 of the San Diego State Aztecs speaks to reporters during the NFL Draft Combine at the Indiana Convention Center on March 5, 2022, in Indianapolis, Indiana. “Ultimately, prosecutors determined it is clear the evidence does not support the filing of criminal charges and there is no path to a,” the San Diego District Attorney’s Office reported. “Prosecutors can only file charges when they ethically believe they can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.”
What are Araiza’s chances of making it on the Jets? Not great. In April, New York signed former Saints punter Thomas Morstead to a $1.1 million guaranteed deal. That’s a lot of money for a punter, and it probably means the job is Morstead’s, barring injury. But the workout is a victory for Araiza. Now that a team has broken the ice and worked him out, others will likely give him a shot.
