Overview
- Arnold cleared NFL waivers on July 6, meaning no team claimed his existing contract and he is free to negotiate new deals with interested clubs.
- He remains charged with multiple felonies including kidnapping and armed robbery and has pleaded not guilty to allegations that he led a February plot in the Tampa area.
- A judge set Arnold’s bond at $1 million and ordered home confinement in Tallahassee with limited travel for football and court business after initially declining prosecutors’ request for a GPS ankle monitor.
- Prosecutors have asked the court to revisit the no-monitor ruling and a remote hearing on whether Arnold must wear an ankle tracker was postponed until July 10.
- Defense filings say three NFL teams have contacted Arnold and he is expected to visit clubs, a development that could shape pretrial conditions and prompt possible league review if a team signs him.
