Terrion Arnold has his pick of the bunch.
Despite his arrest last month for his alleged role in a robbery and kidnapping scheme, Arnold has drawn interest from several NFL teams after being cut by the Lions.
One of them, as his agent Nicole Lynn said during a pre-trial hearing Friday, is the Jets, but there are at least three other teams interested.

In fact, Houston already had Arnold in for a physical on Thursday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported, while Lynn said he went through a workout.
Arnold is also reportedly scheduled to visit two more teams next week.
“He actually had a workout with the team, an NFL team, just yesterday. So he was in their facility, they paid for him to fly in, he did a physical, which shows you how serious these teams are about him,” Lynn said in court.
The agent successfully lobbied for him to forgo wearing an ankle monitor, which she argued would make it “extremely difficult and maybe even impossible” for him to land with a new team.
It’s not hugely surprising that there would be a market for Arnold, 23, who quickly established himself as a starter in Detroit after being selected No. 24 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Colts, though, had the second-worst passing defense and the Jets are aiming to improve on their 3-14 record last year.
After turning himself in to authorities on June 24, Arnold is out on a $1 million bond.
He is facing eight felony charges and could be given life in prison if convicted.
