Terrion Arnold's lawyer informs court he has been contacted by three teams

Key Points:
- Former first-round pick Terrion Arnold was waived by the Detroit Lions, and other NFL teams have until July 6 to claim the remainder of his contract.
- Arnold's criminal case will have a hearing regarding whether he must wear an ankle monitor during home confinement now that he is no longer with the Lions.
- Arnold's attorney stated in court documents that Arnold expects to join a new NFL team within 30 days and has already been contacted by three other clubs.
- Claiming Arnold off waivers would require a team to pay the full remaining $4.848 million of his guaranteed contract if they later cut him, making teams hesitant to claim him.
- The judge may require Arnold to wear an ankle monitor until he signs with a new team, with the monitor potentially reattached if he is released or placed on paid leave again.
