At a time when three unnamed teams supposedly are interested in free-agent cornerback Terrion Arnold (we’ll believe it when they make themselves known), no team was sufficiently interested to claim the balance of his contract on waivers.
Per multiple reports, Arnolds passed through waivers unclaimed.
It would have been a surprise if anyone had claimed his contract. It had $4.848 million remaining over the next two seasons, fully guaranteed.
Arnold is now a free agent. That may remain the case until the pending criminal charges against him, arising from a February 2026 armed robbery and kidnapping, are fully resolved.
The Lions selected Arnold in the first round of the 2024 draft. He appeared in 16 regular-season games with 15 starts as a rookie, and in eight games with seven starts last year.
