Terrion Arnold’s next NFL stop could come quickly.
The former Detroit Lions cornerback has already been contacted by three NFL teams in the last 48 hours, according to his attorney Harvey Steinberg, after Detroit released the former first-round pick it selected in 2024. With the move now official, Arnold is on waivers and waiting to see who makes the next call.
Steinberg addressed the situation in response to a recent motion from Florida prosecutors seeking to have Arnold 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, several teams stand out as possible landing spots.
The first is the AFC East team led by Aaron Glenn, Detroit’s former defensive coordinator. Glenn is now the head coach there, and a reunion would make sense given how closely he worked with Arnold during their season together. Glenn’s reputation as a strong relationship builder could matter here, especially with a 23-year-old corner trying to reset his career.
Washington is another team to watch. The Commanders are in a mixed spot at cornerback after Mike Sainristil’s production dipped in 2025 following a strong rookie year, while 2025 second-round pick Trey Amos is expected to start opposite him. Washington also added former Lion Amik Robertson as its nickel corner, but Arnold could still fit as another competitive piece in that room.
Dallas could also enter the mix. After Trevon Diggs was waived, the Cowboys needed a second corner opposite DaRon Bland and responded by signing Cobie Durant from the Los Angeles Rams and drafting Caleb Downs to play nickel. Arnold’s starting experience could still make him appealing as competition for Durant and Bland, and he could also serve as insurance with Bland having been limited to 19 games over the last two seasons.
Kansas City is in a similar spot, with its secondary undergoing major change this offseason. Trent McDuffie was traded to the Los Angeles Rams, the Chiefs drafted Mansoor DeLane in the first round, and they reunited with veteran L'Jarius Sneed.
Even so, the depth chart is still shaky, with Kristian Fulton and 2025 third-round pick Nohl Williams listed among the backups. Arnold would give them another experienced option.
Tampa Bay rounds out the list. Cornerback remains the biggest question mark on the Buccaneers’ defense, even with Zyon McCollum and Benjamin Morrison expected to start.
Josh Hayes and Damarion Williams are behind them, but neither played a defensive snap last season. That makes Arnold a logical candidate to compete for a job on the outside if Tampa Bay wants to add more certainty to the room.

Tigers Fans Wont Like The Latest Trade Rumor Around Their Ace
Tarik Skubals return to the mound has been one of the bright spots of the Tigers season, especially after he came back from elbow surgery and quickly looked like himself again. In 11 starts, the two-time American League Cy Young winner has posted a 3.15 ERA, a reminder of why Detroit has leaned so heavily on him as the anchor of its rotation.
Now, though, the conversation around Skubal is drifting far beyond his next outing. With the 2026 trade deadline still ahead, his name has surfaced in chatter among multiple clubs, a familiar kind of noise for an ace of his stature but one Tigers fans would rather not hear attached to a pitcher who has already proved how valuable he can be.

Tigers Season Somehow Has One Split That Makes No Sense
For a club that has spent much of the summer looking up in the standings, the Tigers have collected a few odd side stories along the way. Detroit sits 37-49 and 12th in the American League, still six games back of the final Wild Card spot, but the shape of its season has been anything but routine. The Tigers have been sturdier in day games, have held their own more often at Comerica Park than on the road, and have had a strangely sharp contrast against starting-pitcher handedness.
The bigger head-scratcher is how uneven Detroit has been inside the AL Central, where the losses have piled up and kept the club from gaining any traction in the division race. Even as the Tigers have found ways to compete in some spots, the profile keeps pointing to a team that is more comfortable in certain settings than others, and the split against left-handed starters only adds another layer to the puzzle. For a roster trying to stay in the hunt, the next challenge is figuring out which version of the Tigers is the real one. [Read more 🡒]
Jackson Jobe Just Gave Tigers Fans A Reason To Dream Again
Jackson Jobes rehab has moved from a long-term hope to something a lot more tangible for Tigers fans. After Tommy John surgery in June 2025, the right-hander has kept stacking milestones, from offseason work in Texas to spring training time in Lakeland and bullpen sessions that showed he was trending in the right direction. The progress has been steady enough that team sources and MLB.com have both confirmed his velocity is back in a big way as he works his way through the next phase.
What makes the buildup matter is not just the radar-gun reading, but what it says about the shape of Jobes recovery. He has already cleared bullpen work, and if the rest of the rehab keeps moving cleanly, Detroit can start imagining him as part of the 2026 rotation picture. For a club that has been waiting to see whether one of its top arms could come back on schedule, that kind of progress is enough to keep the conversation alive all summer. [Read more 🡒]
