Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is on the waiver wire, and according to his attorney Harvey Steinberg, he’s already drawing attention around the league.
Steinberg said Arnold has been contacted by three NFL teams in the last 48 hours, and he also told Florida prosecutors, in response to a motion asking that Arnold be fitted with a GPS tether, “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.”
Arnold’s release from Detroit is now official, opening the door for any team willing to take a chance if he clears waivers. There are five clubs that could make sense.
One possibility is the AFC East team led by Aaron Glenn, Detroit’s former defensive coordinator. Glenn is now the head coach there, and the connection is obvious: he worked closely with Arnold for a season and could be the coach best positioned to reach the 23-year-old and keep him locked in on his development.
Washington also stands out as a team that could use help at cornerback. Mike Sainristil’s production dropped in 2025 after a strong rookie year, and 2025 second-round pick Trey Amos is expected to start opposite him. The Commanders already added former Lion Amik Robertson as their nickel corner, but they could still use more competition in the room, and Arnold could provide that.
The Cowboys are another team to watch. After Trevon Diggs was waived, they needed a second corner opposite DaRon Bland. They brought in Cobie Durant from the Los Angeles Rams and drafted Caleb Downs as their nickel, but Arnold’s starting experience could still make him a real challenger for snaps, and he would also offer insurance with Bland having been limited to 19 games over the last two seasons.
Kansas City is dealing with its own questions in the secondary. The Chiefs made a major change this offseason when Trent McDuffie was traded to the Los Angeles Rams, then drafted Mansoor DeLane in the first round and reunited with veteran L’Jarius Sneed.
Even with those moves, the depth chart still looks shaky, with Kristian Fulton and 2025 third-round pick Nohl Williams currently listed among the backups. Arnold would give them another experienced option.
Tampa Bay rounds out the list. The Buccaneers’ cornerback group is still unsettled, even with Zyon McCollum and Benjamin Morrison projected as the starters.
Behind them, Josh Hayes and Damarion Williams are the backups, but neither played a defensive snap last season. That kind of uncertainty makes Arnold a possible fit if the Buccaneers want someone who can compete for a starting job on the outside.

Mets Just Sent A Troubling Message About Kevin Parada
Kevin Paradas path through the Mets system has taken another turn, and it is not the kind that usually inspires confidence in a former first-round pick. After an uneven run in the minors this season, the catcher showed a brief offensive spike in Triple-A, but the Mets still opted to move him back to Double-A, where the bat has cooled again and the overall picture remains choppy on both sides of the ball.
For a player whose development was supposed to center on steady progress, the shuffle is a telling sign. Paradas struggles have left him squeezed by the organizations current catching depth, with more experienced options offering a cleaner fit for a club that needs reliability behind the plate. For now, the message is less about one bad stretch than about how much ground he still has to make up. [Read more 🡒]
Mets Bullpen Rehab Bet Already Looks Like A Wasted Move
Adbert Alzolay was supposed to be the kind of low-cost bullpen bet that could pay off later, especially for a Mets club always looking for ways to find relief help without giving up anything of value. Signed to a two-year minor league contract while recovering from Tommy John surgery, the right-hander has spent all of 2024 in the minors, with the hope that he could eventually become an internal option and maybe even an unexpected late-season chip.
Instead, his time at Triple-A Syracuse has been rough enough to make that plan look shaky. Alzolay has struggled to miss bats and keep runners off base, and the Mets still have not cut bait, suggesting they are willing to keep waiting for signs of a turnaround rather than give up on the rehab project just yet.

Three Looming Threats Could Derail The Mets 2027 Vision
Steve Cohens long view for the Mets has always rested on the idea that money, smart front-office work and a steady talent pipeline can keep the club in contention year after year. But as the organization looks toward 2026 and 2027, there are real questions building around how much of that plan can actually hold. Cohen is keeping David Stearns in place to help navigate the next stretch, even as concerns linger about whether the president of baseball operations is flexible enough to adjust if the roster needs a different kind of fix.
The other pressure point is bigger than one executive. The next collective bargaining agreement could reshape how far Cohens spending edge goes, and the minor league system has not delivered the kind of clean answers the Mets were hoping for. Several players expected to be part of the core by then have not taken the expected step forward, which leaves the front office trying to build a contender while also waiting for development to catch up.
