The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buffalo Bills</a> took punter <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-bills-could-be-forced-to-make-a-decision-in-the-wake-of-accusations-against-matt-araiza-20220826-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Araiza</a> in the 2022 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> Draft, but he wasn’t even able to suit up for the organization. He was facing allegations of sexual assault, and the team ‘mutually agreed’ to part ways with him while he cleared the situation.
The San Diego State star went to great lengths to try and clean his name. And now, new evidence revealed that he allegedly even wasn’t at the place where the events took place, meaning he won’t be criminally prosecuted.
So, with his reputation still on the line, the Punt God— as he was called during his days in college— is now looking to get another chance of making an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Arian-Foster-claims-all-players-are-drunk-during-the-Pro-Bowl-20230406-0057.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> roster, sharing a statement to thank the prosecutors for his exoneration.
<h2>Matt Araiza Releases Statement After Exoneration</h2>
(Transcript via Matt Araiza)
“I am aware that the facts of this case have been made public. I am deeply gratified for the thorough work of the DA’s office in San Diego and for all the witnesses that were willing to come forward and tell the truth. I am thankful that the facts of this case as provided by the witnesses will prove that what I have been saying from the beginning is, in fact, the truth.
I can only hope that now people will assess me on the facts and not what was falsely claimed in both the civil suit and in the press.
I am beyond thankful for the unwavering support of both my family and friends. They have been a rock in what has been a very dark eight months for me. However, now that the truth is out, I am amazed by the thousands of emails and tweets supporting me. It has truly been a blessing to know so many people have now judged me by the facts.”

So, technically, the ‘Punt God’ is now a free agent and eligible to sign with any NFL team of his choosing. Now, whether he’ll get another shot in the league or not remains to be seen, but technically, there’s no reason not to sign him.

His accuracy, strength, and trick shots went viral long before he made it to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-davante-adams-unintentionally-disagrees-with-aaron-rodgers-20220824-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Football League,</a> which is why they took him in the sixth round <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/8-promising-college-football-players-that-failed-in-the-nfl-20220705-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">of the Draft.</a>
Now, the guy who was once all over the web for his ability to punt the football 80 yards downfield is stealing the headlines for all the wrong reasons. He’s facing accusations of gang-raping a then-17-year-old alongside two San Diego State University teammatesat an off-campus party.
Technically, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-josh-mcdaniels-gets-brutally-honest-on-bill-belichick-20220825-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the NFL</a> doesn’t have the power to punish him, as the incident happened before he entered the league; thus he didn’t need to abide by their conduct policy. But will the Bills just ignore the situation, or will they cut ties with him right away?
<h2>NFL News: Buffalo Bills Could Cut Matt Araiza In The Wake Of Accusations</h2>
(via Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk)
“The Personal Conduct Policy does not encompass alleged misconduct occurring before a player is drafted. At most, the incident would be used against him for enhanced or expired discipline, if he violates the policy once he’s in the NFL.
That doesn’t stop the Bill (sic)from cutting him, if they choose to do it. Although Araiza and/or the NFL Player Association could make a stink about a decision to dump Araiza for reasons that would obviously be unrelated to skill, the Bills ultimately can do whatever they want to do — and they may decide that it’s better to find another punter.”
The league and the Bills were reportedly made aware of the accusations before the news broke. Now, it seems like it’ll all be up to the front office, but keeping him on the active roster before the investigation concludessure doesn’t look good.
