Could the New York Jets be looking to bolster their secondary by adding recently troubled cornerback Terrion Arnold? If his agent is being truthful, that appears to be the case.
Testifying on behalf of his client, who is facing kidnapping charges that could land him in prison for life, Arnold’s agent listed six teams that have expressed interest and the Jets are among them. Also named were the Colts, Seahawks and Texans. If you ignore the kidnapping charge, which teams appear to be prepared to do, the move would make sense.
The Jets have some potentially solid starters at corner, but Arnold would be a significant upgrade over most of the depth chart and he did play for Jets head coach Aaron Glenn when he was Arnold’s defensive coordinator with the Lions.
A former first-round pick out of Alabama, Arnold has started 22 games over his first two seasons, picking up 1 interception and 18 passes broken up. The charges he’s facing claim that Arnold kidnapped and beat three men whom he wrongfully believed had stolen luxury items from.
Soon after the story broke, Arnold was let go by the Lions.
Following the testimony from his agent that named interested clubs, a judge ruled that Terrion Arnold will not have to wear a GPS monitor and will therefore be able to work out with any team that my sign him.
