Matt Araiza was released as the starting punter for the Buffalo Bills last August. It came three days after being named in a civil lawsuit that alleged he participated in multiple rapes of an intoxicated 17-year-old girl at a 2021 off-campus house party while he attended San Diego State.
Araiza maintained his innocence, but the allegations were graphic.
“I knew I would be cut,” Araiza told Yahoo Sports.
In December, the San Diego District Attorney’s Office announced it would not criminally charge Araiza or the others for the alleged assaults.
