- Arnold anticipates signing with another NFL team within 30 days.
Terrion Arnold, formerly a cornerback for the Detroit Lions, is now a free agent after clearing NFL waivers on Monday, July 7, 2026. He was released by the team on June 29, 2026, subsequent to an arrest in February concerning allegations of armed robbery and kidnapping.
Arnold was released from Hillsborough County Jail on June 30, 2026, after posting a $1 million bond, as a judge denied the prosecution's request for him to be detained without bail. The prosecution also sought a GPS tether, but this was denied by Chief Judge Christopher Sabella, who accepted arguments that it would hinder his ability to play football.
Following the Lions' release of Arnold, the prosecution again pushed for a GPS tether. However, Arnold's attorney indicated that three NFL teams had already expressed interest. The attorney also stated that Arnold expects to be employed by another NFL team within the next 30 days.
