Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, who is 23 years old, cleared waivers on Monday and has now become a free agent while he faces legal issues stemming from an arrest in Florida on serious felony charges.
The 23-year-old defensive back had been with Detroit for two seasons prior to the events unfolding in Florida. His arrest on armed robbery and kidnapping charges occurred in Tampa, leading to significant legal complications. Clearing waivers on Monday afternoon means Arnold can now negotiate with other teams as an unrestricted free agent. This comes after he was placed on waivers by the Lions amid the investigation. The intersection of his legal troubles and professional status creates a complex scenario for the young athlete moving forward.
