Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold has officially entered free agency.
According to ESPN, Arnold cleared waivers on Monday, meaning no NFL team claimed his contract following his release by the Lions last week. He is now free to sign with any team interested in adding him to its roster.
Despite his ongoing legal case in Florida, ESPN reports that multiple NFL teams have previously expressed interest in Arnold, and he is expected to visit interested clubs as he looks to continue his professional career.
The Lions released the former first-round pick shortly after a Florida judge denied prosecutors’ request to hold him without bond. Arnold was released from custody after posting $1 million bond and must comply with several conditions while his case proceeds, including remaining at his residence in Tallahassee except for approved travel related to NFL employment, court appearances, or legal appointments. He has also surrendered his passport and is prohibited from contacting co-defendants or witnesses in the case.
Arnold, 23, continues to maintain his innocence after being charged with multiple felony counts, including armed robbery and kidnapping. Prosecutors allege he helped orchestrate a plot targeting three men he believed had stolen cash and luxury items from an Airbnb he had rented in the Tampa area.
