The Lions released Terrion Arnold amid allegations that he orchestrated an abduction and robbery of three men he believed stole money and luxury items from him.
The NFL organization made the announcement at 4 p.m., just hours after a Florida judge set a $1 million bond for the now ex-Lions cornerback.
Arnold was taken in the first round by the Lions in 2024 draft and recorded 31 tackles and an interception last season for Detroit.
The Lions have said very little publicly, other than they are aware of the allegations and the case against Arnold and won’t comment further prior to releasing him on Monday.
