  • Per a football insider, the Kansas City Chiefs have offered a contract tender to a 24-year-old starter ahead of 2025 NFL free agency.

The article from Heavy.com discusses the Kansas City Chiefs' decision to extend an exclusive rights free agent tender to punter Matt Araiza. This move ensures that Araiza, who was previously released by the Buffalo Bills amid allegations of sexual assault (which were later dropped due to lack of evidence), will remain with the Chiefs for the 2024 season at the league minimum salary unless another team signs him to an offer sheet that the Chiefs choose not to match. The tender means Araiza cannot negotiate with other teams, providing the Chiefs with stability at the punter position. The article also touches on Araiza's potential, noting his impressive punting skills and the fact that he was a sixth-round draft pick in 2022, highlighting the Chiefs' interest in giving him a second chance in the NFL.
