Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is already drawing attention after his release became official and he landed on the league’s waiver wire.
According to his attorney Harvey Steinberg, Arnold has been contacted by three NFL teams in the last 48 hours. Steinberg also addressed a recent motion from Florida prosecutors seeking to have Arnold fitted with a GPS tether, saying, "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."
With Arnold now available, several teams could make a move if he clears waivers.
One possible fit 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 a reputation for building strong connections with players, and that bond could help keep Arnold locked in on his development.
Washington is another club to watch. Mike Sainristil’s production dipped in 2025 after a strong rookie year, and 2025 second-round pick Trey Amos is expected to start on the other side. The Commanders also brought in former Lion Amik Robertson as their nickel corner, but Arnold could add competition to the room.
Dallas has reason to look, too. After Trevon Diggs was waived, the Cowboys needed help opposite DaRon Bland and added Cobie Durant from the Los Angeles Rams while drafting Caleb Downs for the nickel role. Arnold’s starting experience could make him a candidate to push for snaps, and he could also serve as insurance with Bland limited to 19 games over the last two seasons.
Kansas City also stands out. The Chiefs reshaped their secondary this offseason after 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. Cornerback remains the biggest question mark on the Buccaneers’ defense, even with Zyon McCollum and Benjamin Morrison projected as the starters.
Behind them, Josh Hayes and Damarion Williams are in reserve, but neither played a defensive snap last season. That opens the door for Arnold to compete for a starting job on the outside.

Rays May Be Eyeing The Kind Of Move Fans Have Waited For
With the Rays holding a firm division edge and another pivotal stretch in front of them, the conversation around this club has started to shift from simply staying ahead to wondering whether the front office might press for a bigger finish. ESPNs David Schoenfield floated Tampa Bay as a logical fit in a broader look at the trade market, and it is easy to see why. A frontline arm would deepen a rotation that has leaned heavily on Drew Rasmussen, Shane McClanahan and Nick Martinez, and it would give the Rays a more imposing look as the playoff chase tightens.
Tarik Skubal is the kind of name that changes the tone of those discussions, even before any actual deal is on the table. The question for Tampa Bay is whether it would be willing to part with the kind of prospect package such a move would demand, and whether Detroit would even make him available in the first place. For a fan base that has waited a long time to see the Rays chase a true splash, this is the sort of possibility that feels worth watching closely. [Read more 🡒]
Rays Making Room At The Trop For Evan Longoria Weekend
The Rays are turning Tropicana Field into a bigger stage for Evan Longorias Legacy Weekend, opening the upper deck for their July 10-12 series against the Mariners to handle the expected surge of fans. It will be the first time the upper level has been open since the 2023 AL Wild Card Series, a fitting sign of how much this weekend means to a fan base that watched Longoria become one of the defining players in franchise history.
Longorias Rays Hall of Fame induction is set for July 11, with his No. 3 jersey retirement coming before the July 12 game, and the club is layering in plenty of extras around the ceremonies. There will be special giveaways and branded baseballs throughout the weekend, all aimed at making the celebration feel less like a single pregame moment and more like a full-scale tribute to one of the organizations cornerstone names.

Rays Stadium Fight Takes Another Turn As Tampa Pushes Back
Tampas long-running stadium debate picked up another wrinkle this week, with council member Bill Carlson reportedly working to trim the citys tax revenue role in the Rays project. The idea would cut Tampas contribution from $100 million to $80 million by moving responsibility for the Community Redevelopment Agency to Hillsborough County, a shift that would ease the citys bill while changing who helps steer some of the public side of the deal.
That adjustment matters because the stadium negotiations are still being finalized, and the money trail is tied to more than just bricks and mortar. If Tampa steps back, the community benefits side of the agreement could look different, with county-backed priorities taking a larger role as the city tries to reduce its exposure without derailing the project.
