Chiefs punter Matt Araiza signing announcement
Agent reveals Chiefs punter Matt Araiza signing deal.
Accident – Death – Obituary News :
Free agent punter Matt Araiza has officially signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, as announced by his agent Joe Linta. This move comes as a significant development in Araiza’s career, marking a new chapter with the reigning Super Bowl champions.
Araiza’s agent, Joe Linta, expressed gratitude towards the Chiefs organization, including General Manager Brett Veach and Head Coach Andy Reid, for providing Araiza with this opportunity to showcase his talents on the field.
Following a legal dispute in December, Araiza was cleared of any involvement in a lawsuit alleging misconduct at an off-campus event during his time at San Diego State University. The resolution of the lawsuit, which involved a mutual agreement with the plaintiff, has allowed Araiza to focus on his professional football career.
Previously drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL draft, Araiza was released from the team shortly after the lawsuit was filed. Despite the setback, Araiza’s determination and skill caught the attention of the New York Jets, who invited him for a workout in May.
In a statement regarding his signing with the Chiefs, Araiza expressed his pride and excitement at joining the team. He thanked his family and friends for their unwavering support throughout his journey in the NFL and looked forward to contributing to the Chiefs’ success.
With Araiza now on board, the Chiefs have secured a reliable option at punter, providing depth and competition in the special teams unit. This signing also comes at a crucial time as incumbent punter Tommy Townsend is set to become a free agent next month, ensuring the Chiefs have a contingency plan in place.
Overall, the addition of Matt Araiza to the Kansas City Chiefs roster brings a mix of talent, experience, and determination to the team, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
