Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is on the move, and his next stop could come quickly.
Arnold, who was released by Detroit after the team used a first-round pick on him in 2024, is now on waivers. His attorney, Harvey Steinberg, said the former Alabama defensive back has already drawn interest, noting that three NFL teams have contacted him in the last 48 hours.
Steinberg also addressed a recent Florida prosecutors’ motion 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."
If Arnold clears waivers, there are a few teams that could make sense as a landing spot.
The Commanders stand out as a possible fit because of Aaron Glenn. Detroit’s former defensive coordinator is now the head coach of the AFC East squad, and a reunion with a player he worked closely with for a season would not be surprising. Glenn’s reputation as a strong relationship builder could matter here, especially with a 23-year-old corner trying to get back on track.
Washington also has a cornerback room that could use more competition. Mike Sainristil’s production dipped in 2025 after a strong rookie season, and 2025 second-round pick Trey Amos is expected to start opposite him. The Commanders also signed former Lion Amik Robertson to work as their nickel corner, but Arnold could still give them another option in the mix.
Dallas is another team to watch. After Trevon Diggs was waived, the Cowboys were looking for a second cornerback to line up opposite DaRon Bland.
They added Cobie Durant from the Rams and drafted Caleb Downs to handle nickel duties, but Arnold’s starting experience could still make him an appealing piece of competition for Durant and Bland. He could also serve as insurance, with Bland limited to 19 games over the last two seasons.
Kansas City could also have interest. The Chiefs made major changes to their 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 with those moves, the depth chart still looks shaky, with Kristian Fulton and 2025 third-round pick Nohl Williams listed among the backups. Arnold would add experience there.
Tampa Bay rounds out the list, and the fit is easy to see. Cornerback remains one of the biggest questions on the Buccaneers’ defense, even with Zyon McCollum and Benjamin Morrison expected to start.
Behind them, Josh Hayes and Damarion Williams are backups, but neither played a defensive snap last season. Arnold could walk into that situation and compete right away for a job on the outside.

Jordan Montgomerys Latest Rehab Start Leaves Rangers With Mixed Feelings
Jordan Montgomery took another step in his rehab assignment Saturday, making his first appearance at Triple-A Round Rock after opening his comeback work at Double-A Frisco. The left-hander worked two innings, which was the kind of gradual buildup the Rangers have been aiming for as they ease him back from injury and try to stretch him out the right way.
The outing was not as clean as some of his earlier rehab starts, though, and Round Rock saw him give up a two-RBI triple to Vimael Machin. Even so, the Rangers are still treating the appearance as part of the plan, with Montgomerys workload continuing to climb as he moves from one inning to two and inches closer to being ready for the next stage.

Jarred Kelenic Is Back On The Market Again
Jarred Kelenics latest stop with the Rangers was always going to be short-lived, and now its over. After being designated for assignment, Kelenic cleared waivers along with right-handers Joe Ross and Chris Paddack, and all three turned down outright assignments to Triple-A Round Rock in favor of free agency, leaving Texas to keep sorting through the back end of its roster as the season moves on.
For Kelenic, the move adds another chapter to a year that has already taken him to multiple teams, with his career still defined by flashes that have not yet added up to steady production. Ross gave Texas a brief stretch out of the bullpen, while Paddacks stay was even shorter after a spot start, and the Rangers now have to replace innings and outfield depth while these three look for their next landing spot.

Former Dodgers All-Star Quickly Finds New Opportunity After Roster Crunch
Santiago Espinals latest stop came together quickly after a rough stretch with the Dodgers, where he was designated for assignment twice before moving on. The veteran infielder, who has played in 614 major league games, has now resurfaced on a minor league deal and gives a club in need of infield help a familiar, experienced option to consider.
For the Rangers, the timing matters as much as the name. Injuries have thinned the infield picture and opened the door for a player like Espinal to work his way into the mix, with the possibility that he could help rotate around the diamond if the need persists. It is the kind of depth move that can look minor in March and suddenly matter a lot once the season starts to squeeze a roster. [Read more 🡒]
