Chiefs released CB Damon Arnette.
The release comes after Arnette was arrested for assault, gun, and drugs charges at Park MGM in Las Vegas this weekend. Arnette, who signed a reserve/future deal earlier this month, has a long history of off-field issues. The 2020 first-rounder is unlikely to resurface again this offseason.
Chiefs signed CB Damon Arnette to a reserve/future contract.
The 2020 mega-bust failed to land a futures deal with the Dolphins after joining the practice squad in December, but one of his former division rivals is giving him a second chance after the Raiders cut him in November. Arnette was waived for posting a disturbing video on social media, but his awful play on the field was why the Raiders were willing to cut ties instead of giving Arnette the second and third chances former first-rounders typically get. Slow (4.56) and extremely old (24) for a first-round corner at the time of his drafting, Arnette's selection was widely first guessed. It is difficult to see him cracking the Chiefs' 53-man roster this summer.
Dolphins signed CB Damon Arnette to their practice squad.
Arnette was the 19th overall pick in the 2020 draft by the Raiders but appeared in just 13 games with the team before getting cut last month. He had multiple off-field incidents and was axed after flashing guns on social media and threatening someone. On the field, Arnette was slow and stiff. It’s a no-risk move by the Dolphins.
Raiders waived CB Damon Arnette.
A video of Arnette flashing multiple firearms and verbally threatening someone surfaced last week, spurring the former No. 19 overall pick's release. Arnette also reportedly crashed four rental cars within roughly a month, at which point we can assume he was banned from renting cars in the state of Nevada. With Henry Ruggs's recent release, the Raiders are now without both of the first-round picks they made in 2020. Arnette failed to make much of an impact in a season and a half. He appeared in four games this year before suffering a groin injury that sent him to injured reserve. Arnette broke up one pass and logged four combined tackles in those four non-starts.
