back,” former Buffalo Bills punter Matt Araiza is finally getting back on track in

the NFL with a team that is a rival of the one that selected him.

Araiza is inking a contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, the Super Bowl champions.

After being accused of rape during his time at San Diego State, Araiza—a sixth-round pick by the Bills in 2022—was

released on August 27, 2022. However, on December 12, 2023, the lawsuit

between Araiza and his accuser was abandoned.

Araiza’s agency wrote that he’s “been to hell and back” in the official announcement on his signing.

“We are happy to announce that @matt_araiza, one of our clients, has signed a contract with the @Chiefs. We

appreciate Matt’s opportunity, which was provided by coach Reid, Brett Veach, and

the @Chiefs organization. In the past eighteen months, Matt has been to hell

and back. He has behaved gracefully toward himself.”

ARAIZA’S STATEMENT

“I am proud and honored to sign a contract with the Chiefs,” wrote Araiza in a statement that was published with the

announcement. Being able to continue playing in the NFL excites me. I want to

express my gratitude to my numerous friends who have never wavered in their

support as well as my family, who have been my rock.”

Araiza spoke publicly for the first time since his release in May 2023 on Tomi

“It wasn’t for talent,” Araiza said. ” … I was cut because of these allegations. I

hold nothing against the Buffalo Bills. I wish things were handled differently, but

they did treat me with respect which I appreciate.”

“Talented wasn’t the reason,” Araiza stated. I was fired as a result of these

accusations. The Buffalo Bills are not at all disliked by me. Although I wish things

had been handled better, I am grateful that they treated me with respect.”

Araiza is back in the NFL and will try to join Kansas City’s 53-man roster after a protracted legal struggle.
