I get why the Bengals wanted a new punter, but it seemed silly going after someone who really only had good hangtime but bad distance.
Maybe they thought the distance thing was only because of where they were on the field.
At this point, I think just look to get a new one in the offseason.
Talk with Araiza to make sure character is good. Yes, I know the charges were dropped and everything surrounding that, but you still need to get confidence he'll never put himself in an off-field situation like that again.
Look at punters in this upcoming draft as well to see if you can find someone who both has a leg and hangtime. It's ok to spend a 6th or 7th rounder on a punter since those rounds for O/D are typically just for backup guys anyway.
