Former Lions CB Terrion Arnold clears waivers, 3 teams interested
Key Points:
- Former Detroit Lions first-round pick Terrion Arnold cleared waivers and is now a free agent after being arrested on eight felony charges, including kidnapping and armed robbery, stemming from a February incident.
- Arnold was released on a $1 million bond with conditions including no contact with co-defendants or witnesses, forfeiting his passport, and restrictions on his movements; prosecutors are seeking an ankle bracelet due to his unemployment.
- Three NFL teams have reportedly shown interest in Arnold, but his future in the league remains uncertain, especially with the possibility of being placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List, barring him from team activities.
- The Detroit Lions have not yet replaced Arnold on their roster and have made no public statements beyond an initial acknowledgment of the legal situation, while internally considering options like Rock Ya-Sin and Ennis Rakestraw to fill the cornerback role.
