And I mean, that\u2019s really all I can say. I mean, we\u2019re monitoring what\u2019s out there. I mean, as of a month ago, this was nothing. So I have no idea what this is. As far as I know it\u2019s still not a big deal, it seems like he wasn\u2019t involved with this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">In February, an alleged kidnapping and robbery took place in a Florida apartment. Prosecutors paint the crime as a retaliation for a robbery that took place in Arnold\u2019s Airbnb. Last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detroitnews.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/lions\/2026\/03\/26\/terrion-arnold-named-in-alleged-robbery-plot-text-messages\/89336316007\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">text messages that were sent during the incident were released to the public<\/a>, and Arnold\u2019s name was mentioned nine times by the alleged perpetrators, potentially linking him as a co-conspirator. However, Arnold\u2019s attorney Tim Jansen believes those texts prove nothing, and maintain Arnold\u2019s non-involvement in the alleged crime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cClaims that Mr. Arnold was \u2018at the center\u2019 of text message communications related to this incident are entirely misleading and reflect a gross negligence in accurately reporting the facts,\u201d Jansen wrote in a public statement. \u201cIn reality, the collection of messages in question consists of more than 300 individual texts. Within that volume, Mr. Arnold\u2019s name appears only a handful of times, approximately five, and only in passing references by third parties. At no point do these messages demonstrate that Mr. Arnold was directly involved in any conversations related to the alleged conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI\u2019m just more of a\u2014let\u2019s call it a pessimistic planner. I just like to prepare myself for that,\u201d Holmes said. \u201cI\u2019m not saying that something is going to come out the worst, but that\u2019s how I prepare on all situations, but also I always hope for the best, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This offseason, the Lions were able to re-sign cornerback Rock Ya-Sin while adding versatile defensive back pieces in Roger McCreary and Christian Izien. Campbell believes that leaves Detroit\u2019s cornerback room in a good place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cGetting Rock back was big for us. That\u2019s not why (we signed him)\u2014what happens if\u2014that wasn\u2019t the thought. But if it happens that way (with Terrion), or you talk about insurance, certainly we\u2019ll need to be able to fill in somewhere with depth,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cBut, look, we\u2019ve still got (D.J.) Reed, we like (Ennis) Rake(straw). Rake\u2019s coming back. I know it\u2019s unproven right now, but he\u2019s had a good offseason to this point. And we\u2019ve got Rock, and McCreary. So we\u2019ve got some things there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Detroit Lions don\u2019t appear to be too concerned about the availability of cornerback Terrion Arnold, despite some&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":844994,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[153,1889,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-844993","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-detroit-lions-news","9":"tag-detroit-lions-quotes","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116324236182597562","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/844993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=844993"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/844993\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/844994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=844993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=844993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=844993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
