A Florida judge ruled Friday that former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is no longer required to wear a GPS tracker. The legal clearance allows the 2024 first-round draft pick to actively travel and work out for NFL teams in an effort to secure a new contract.
The Lions recently released the 24th overall pick amid stalled on-field development and severe pending legal allegations that carry a maximum penalty of up to life in prison.
Arnold’s agent stated that four NFL franchises inquired about the defender within 24 hours of the court’s decision. The New York Jets actively expressed interest in evaluating and potentially signing Arnold, a development confirmed by a detailed report tracking the free agency market.
The Friday court order lifting the travel and location restriction was also corroborated by a local sports radio affiliate. Arnold and his representation are currently operating within an anticipated 45-day window to secure a new roster spot.
