The Lions announced on Monday that they'd released cornerback Terrion Arnold. The official move appears on Wednesday's report of NFL transactions.
The report includes a note that the claiming deadline is Monday, July 6, at 4:00 p.m. ET.
It's highly unlikely that any team will make a claim for the two-year balance of Arnold's first-round rookie contract. He's currently facing eight felony charges in Florida arising from an armed robbery and kidnapping. He'd possibly be placed on paid leave by the NFL, if he were on a roster.
Arnold is due back in court on Monday regarding the prosecution's renewed request that he be required to wear an ankle monitor while on home confinement pending trial. The judge previously ruled that Arnold would not be required to wear a tracking device.
At the time, Arnold was employed by the Lions. Now that he is not, there's no reason to exempt him from the standard practice when it comes to defendants who have been released on bond but who must stay within their homes.
