Brad Holmes on Terrion Arnold: "The kid made a mistake"
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Detroit Lions released Terrion Arnold five days after his arrest on eight felony charges related to armed robbery and kidnapping in Florida.
- Lions GM Brad Holmes described the situation as "unfortunate" and referred to Arnold's actions as a "mistake," though it remains unclear if Holmes believes Arnold committed the crimes or simply made poor decisions.
- The Lions have not explicitly stated whether Arnold's release was solely due to the arrest or if dishonesty during the investigation played a role, raising questions about their handling of the situation.
- Holmes faced criticism for the team's lack of a strong cornerback replacement plan, with Rock Ya-Sin and D.J. Reed currently starting at the position.
- Arnold is on paid leave and, if cleared to return, will no longer play for the Lions but is expected to join the Seattle Seahawks.
