Lions assess salary cap impact of potential Terrion Arnold release

The Detroit Lions are weighing the salary cap implications of possibly releasing cornerback Terrion Arnold following his recent arrest. If the Lions cut Arnold, they could save $2.1 million in cap space, though this amount is minimal due to his rookie contract. There's a potential for a forfeitable breach under the NFL's Collective Bargaining Agreement, which would allow the team to recover some bonus money if certain conditions are met. Arnold is awaiting his day in court and has not yet been proven guilty. The Lions have not made a decision on his future with the team.
