#Bills McDermott opens up regarding Matt Araiza allegations, calling them “extremely serious” — “It’s not a situation that I take lightly whatsoever … We have work to do to continue to figure this thing out here, and we’re going to do that.”
“My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to people involved,” #Bills McDermott says re: Araiza.

Asked if coach is satisfied with the organization’s response? “We have work to do.”

He “will not get in to details” on why he called Araiza “a great kid” on @PardonMyTake this week.
When asked about the #Bills previous “examination” of the allegations against Araiza, McDermott says “we have more work to be done.”

Coach was unaware that the punter would be putting out a statement mid-game vs Panthers
#Bills McDermott says he discussed the seriousness and sensitivity of allegations against Araiza with the team today before playing in Charlotte
When @agetzenberg asks McDermott if he feels Araiza lied to #Bills, he avoids answering but insists his personal goal now is to find the truth of the matter.

Following up if he’s learned new info in the last 24 hours: “There’s been some, I’m not gonna deny that.”

Brandon Beane: “Ultimately, this is a legal situation. We don’t know all the facts, and that’s what makes it hard. But at this time, we just think it’s the best move to move on from Matt…”

#Bills officially cut the punter.
.@haprusak asks Beane why now is the right time to cut Araiza: “with the serious nature of the allegations, we don’t have the means to put all of the facts together.” #Bills
#Bills Beane asked how transparent Araiza was with team: “Matt gave us his version of events. And that’s where it’s at.”
