Ex-Lion Terrion Arnold contacted by 4 NFL teams since release: agent

Four NFL teams have expressed an interest in former Detroit Lion cornerback Terrion Arnold since he was released from the Lions in late June, his agent revealed Friday during a court hearing.

Nicole Lynn, Arnold’s agent, testified during a Zoom hearing on Friday in Hillsborough County Circuit Court in Tampa that the four teams are the Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks, and Houston Texans.

She said Arnold had a workout with the Houston Texans on Thursday, where the team paid for him to fly in, and he had another visit this week and has one next week as well.

Arnold’s attorney asked a judge to deny a request by Florida prosecutors to require Arnold to wear a GPS tether while he faces criminal charges related to an armed robbery and kidnapping plot that happened in Tampa in February. He’s one of seven people who have been charged.

Harvey Steinberg, Arnold’s attorney, said last week that three teams had already expressed an interest in Arnold, but that’s now grown to four. A judge on Friday denied prosecutors’ request to require the cornerback to wear a GPS tether.

Steinberg said he’s “fairly confident” Arnold will be on another team soon, as training camps start at the end of July.
