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.

Is Linkon Cure Finally Ready To Matter For Kansas State
Linkon Cure arrived at Kansas State with the kind of recruiting buzz the program rarely gets, becoming the schools first five-star signee and choosing the Wildcats over heavier hitters such as Oregon. The freshman tight ends first year never had a chance to breathe, though, because toe and knee injuries kept him from getting much traction and limited him to six catches for 37 yards.
Now the Wildcats are planning to give him a much bigger role, and the timing matters in a roster era where players are less inclined to wait around for opportunities. Kansas State also has Avery Johnson back to lead the offense, so the passing game should have enough continuity to bring Cure along, but the real question is whether his body and his role can finally catch up to the promise that made him such a rare get for the program.

Dean Wade Just Hit A Massive Career Turning Point
Dean Wades professional path keeps rewarding the same traits that made him such a dependable piece at Kansas State: size, touch and a knack for fitting into winning basketball. The 6-foot-9 forward, once an All-Big 12 player for the Wildcats, has carved out a steady NBA career after going undrafted in 2019, and his game has long been built around defense and shooting rather than flash.
Now there is a fresh turning point in that climb. Wade has secured a four-year deal reportedly worth $39 million, a notable finish line for a player who spent seven seasons with the Cavaliers after entering the league on the margins. For Kansas State fans, it is another reminder that Wades career has never followed the usual script, and this latest step suggests there may still be another layer to how far it can go. [Read more 🡒]
Kansas State Just Got A Quiet Receiver Boost From NCAA Changes
The NCAAs new age-based eligibility model is already creating small but meaningful ripple effects, and Kansas States receiver room is one of the places where it shows up. Under the new setup, athletes who enroll by age 19 can get five seasons of eligibility, a change meant to curb some of the long-term financial damage in college sports. For the Wildcats, it means a few wideouts have effectively picked up extra runway, including Josh Manning, Jaron Tibbs and Adonis Moise.
For a roster that always has to balance immediate production with future building, that kind of bonus year matters. It also invites a harder look at how some players were handled early in their careers, because the redshirt decisions and usage patterns that once seemed small can suddenly shape a receivers value and development in a major way. Kansas State does not have to solve all of that today, but the new rule has given the staff a little more flexibility and a few more options to sort through. [Read more 🡒]
