Terrion Arnold’s time with the Detroit Lions is over, but his next stop could come together quickly.
According to his attorney Harvey Steinberg, the former first-round pick has already been contacted by three NFL teams in the last 48 hours. Arnold’s release is now official, putting him on the league’s waiver wire as he looks for a new opportunity.
Steinberg addressed Arnold’s situation in response to a recent motion from Florida prosecutors seeking to have him fitted with a GPS tether. He said, "Mr.
Arnold is not a flight risk, nor is he a danger to the community. He is confined to his home by both court conditions and media scrutiny and anticipates that he will have employment with another NFL team within 30 days."
If Arnold clears waivers, there are a handful of clubs that could make sense as landing spots.
One possibility is the AFC East team now coached by Aaron Glenn. Detroit’s former defensive coordinator spent a season working closely with Arnold, and that relationship could matter. Glenn has long been known as a coach who connects well with players, and that familiarity could help him get Arnold locked in and improving.
Washington is another team worth watching. Mike Sainristil’s production dipped in 2025 after a strong rookie year, while 2025 second-round pick Trey Amos is projected to start on the other side.
The Commanders also brought in former Lion Amik Robertson to handle nickel duties, but they could still use more competition in that room. Arnold would give them that.
Dallas has a need too. After Trevon Diggs was waived, the Cowboys were searching for a second corner opposite DaRon Bland.
They added Cobie Durant from the Rams and drafted Caleb Downs to play nickel, but Arnold’s starting experience could make him part of that mix. He also offers insurance, especially with Bland limited to 19 games over the last two seasons.
Kansas City is another fit. The Chiefs made major changes in the secondary this offseason, trading Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams, drafting Mansoor DeLane in the first round and bringing back veteran L’Jarius Sneed.
Even so, the depth chart still looks shaky, with Kristian Fulton and 2025 third-round pick Nohl Williams currently listed among the backups. Arnold would add experience there.
Tampa Bay rounds out the list. Cornerback may be the biggest question mark on the Buccaneers’ defense, even with talent in the group.
Zyon McCollum and Benjamin Morrison are expected to start, while Josh Hayes and Damarion Williams sit behind them after neither played a defensive snap last season. Arnold could step in and push for a starting job on the outside.

Broncos Still Have One Roster Question They Cant Ignore Before Camp
The Broncos have spent much of the offseason building out a deeper, more versatile roster, but there is still a familiar summer task in front of them as camp approaches. Even with upgrades already in place, the defense could use more insurance at linebacker, safety and edge rusher, especially after a few roster changes have nudged those spots into the spotlight.
That is why the free-agent market still makes sense as a place to look, with veteran names like Bobby Okereke, Jabrill Peppers and Jadaveon Clowney standing out as possible fits. Each would bring a different kind of help, whether it is steadiness in the middle, experience on the back end or another proven body up front, and the Broncos may not want to let those options disappear before the first practice snaps arrive.

Broncos May Have Landed More Than Backfield Insurance In Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman may have arrived in Denver as a fourth-round pick, but there is already a case building that he is more than just extra depth behind the Broncos established backs. Some evaluators have treated him like a sleeper with starter upside, the kind of runner who could eventually handle more than a specialized role if his game translates the way they expect. For a team that has spent the offseason sorting out its backfield, that kind of projection gives the selection a little more weight than a simple insurance move.
Coleman enters a room that already includes RJ Harvey and J.K. Dobbins, so playing time will have to be earned, not assumed. Still, the Broncos have reason to think a committee setup can work in their favor, especially if Coleman can help lighten the load and keep everyone fresher over the long haul. If he settles in quickly, Denver may have found a back who can do more than wait in the wings. [Read more 🡒]
Broncos Have One AFC West Edge That Could Change Everything
If the Broncos are going to make a serious push in the AFC West, it may start where games are often won and lost: up front. Denver has a case for owning the divisions best line play on both sides of the ball, and that kind of edge can travel in January if the rest of the roster keeps pace.
The 2025 numbers back up the argument. The Broncos were stout against the run, disruptive in the pass rush and steady in pass protection, a combination that gives them a foundation few rivals can match. Even with J.K. Dobbins part of the conversation before his injury, the larger picture is the same for Denver: if the trenches stay dominant, the path to the top of the division gets a lot clearer. [Read more 🡒]
