Jets would sign Matt Araiza ‘if they need to’

Former Bills and San Diego State punter Matt Araiza — who was cut last year after being accused of participating in a gang rape of an underage woman — is attempting to return to the NFL after prosecutors declined to file charges.

Araiza’s road back began when he worked out with the Jets in May. On Tuesday, he was featured on “HBO Real Sports.” And, according to reporter Andrea Kremer, Gang Green would be willing to sign the former Ray Guy Award winner.

“They said they vetted him extensively,” Kremer said, citing a conversation with Jets general manager Joe Douglas.
