A hearing on whether free-agent cornerback Terrion Arnold will be required to wear an ankle monitor while on home confinement pending trial of eight felony charges had been scheduled for Monday. Via Kara Berg of the Detroit News, it has been postponed until Friday, July 10.
Prosecutors have asked the presiding judge to revisit his ruling that Arnold is not required to wear a GPS device. The initial decision was made reluctantly by the judge, at a time when Arnold was on the Lions' roster.
Since then, Arnold has been released by the Lions. On Monday, he cleared waivers.
In court papers, Arnold's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, wrote last week that Arnold has been contacted by three teams, and that he expects to join a new team "within 30 days."
Arnold is expected to testify during the hearing about his NFL employment opportunities. (The first question should be this: Name the teams.)
Earlier today, Adam Schefter of ESPN said that "Arnold is expected to visit NFL teams that have expressed an interest in signing him." It would be helpful if those unnamed teams accelerated the process — and if one of them were to offer Arnold employment before Friday.
It's simple. If they want him, there he is, go and get him. Until names are named, it's hard not to regard the claims of interested teams and visits to interested teams as nothing more than an effort to generate interest that currently doesn't exist.
