Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is fielding interest from several NFL teams despite the fact that he’s facing eight felony charges of kidnapping and armed robbery. ESPN reports that Arnold will visit the New Orleans Saints after spending time with the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. He has also visited with the Houston Texans.
The 23-year-old cornerback was arrested on felony charges in June, which ultimately led to his release from the Lions. Arnold faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted, and Fox Sports reports he has an arraignment hearing set for this week in Tampa, Florida, on Aug. 13.
Arnold scored a major legal victory last month when Chief Judge Christopher C. Sabella denied the state’s request to keep the former first-round pick in custody until trial. He is allowed to travel for work, which apparently includes visits with teams, but otherwise must remain at home in Florida.
Arnold’s agent, Nicole Lynn, revealed in a previous court hearing that four teams had reached out to Arnold. She also claimed there was a “very good likelihood” her client is signed in the next 45 days, according to the Detroit Free Press. Lynn testified that the Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, Seahawks and Texans expressed interest in Arnold.
