This was reported by the ESPN network. Thus, the New York State team ruled that it had enough information at its disposal to cut points with the rookie before his trial was held.
Araiza had tried to convince the Bills by issuing a press release on Friday.
“The facts surrounding this incident are not those reported by the prosecution or the media. I look forward to settling this matter quickly and quietly,” he wrote.
Araiza is accused of raping a 17-year-old girl with two of his teammates at a party held outside the campus of San Diego State University, where he played.
The 22-year-old Californian had managed to convince the Bills’ staff to offer him the starting job after training camp.
