Terrion Arnold Lawyer Claims Three NFL Teams Contacted Former Lions CB
His attorney said three NFL teams have contacted him and that he expects to sign with another team within 30 days.
On Tuesday, former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold posted a $1 million bond and was released from Hillsborough County Jail, facing eight felony charges including armed robbery and kidnapping in Florida.
Tampa Police Detective Scott Barnett testified Monday that Arnold orchestrated a plot to lure three men to a Florida apartment for a violent confrontation in early February, though the former Alabama standout denies involvement.
Chief Judge Christopher Sabella denied prosecutors' request to remand Arnold to jail without bail or require a GPS tether, ruling that his home confinement and media scrutiny mitigate flight risk concerns.
Assistant State's Attorney Kevin Riley filed a motion asking the court to reconsider its ruling, arguing that Arnold's release by the Lions constitutes a significant change in circumstances warranting additional restrictions.
Harvey Steinberg, Arnold's attorney, wrote that his client anticipates securing employment with another NFL team within 30 days and maintains Arnold is not a flight risk or danger to the community.
