Speaker 3: Hey, everyone. Jeff Risen here. It is Monday, June 29, and I'm here with your daily DLP. Today's edition of the daily DLP is delayed a little bit. It's coming at you later in the day because today was the day of Terryon Arnold's pretrial hearing in Tampa for his arrest on six felony counts, and we got some clarity on what's gonna happen. Some clarity anyways, and I will bring that up right away. This is from Adam Schefter from ESPN. Many others, have tweeted much the same thing, but this is the general gist of what happened this morning. The Tampa court denied the government's request to hold lions, corn, and bacteria, and Arnold without bond pending trial. The court said a $1,000,000 bond and refused to impose an ankle bracelet as a condition of bond, clearing his way to participate in training camp. I will go back now. I watched most of the hearing. It took a very long time. Well, it was, three hours and change. It felt like it. A lot of it was just basic recapping of the thing. By the way, it's on YouTube. You can go back and watch it if you really want. There are, various summaries that, will probably help you on that, and, hopefully, this is one of them. There was a lot going on. And, basically, I'm gonna go to the Detroit News and their reporter, Cara Berg, and I believe she is in their legal reporting department, summarized it pretty nicely, actually. And there's a couple of key points as to why Arnold was still he's still facing the all six charges. None of the charges were dismissed. That's important by the judge. But he was cleared from bond, and one of the, the points that was made that helped Arnold was, the, investigating detective. His last name is Barnett. And I will read this directly from Cara Berg's piece in the Detroit news. Throughout his testimony on Monday, Barnett never pinpointed Arnold as being inside the apartment where the assaults allegedly happened. And Arnold's defense, one of Arnold's many defense lawyers, mister Steinberg, by the way, not Lee Steinberg, has said, do you have any evidence to suggest that Arnold went to the apartment? Steinberg asked. No to the contrary. All of them said he did not go in, Barnett said. That's important because that means that he was not present where the crime was actually committed if any crime was actually committed. It's alleged there's enough in the allegations to still support the six felony counts against Arnold. Couple other people have already plead guilty. A couple of the codefendants have plead guilty already and, are are will presumably testify. I'm not gonna say against Arnold, if the if when the trial takes place, but that's kind of what we all expect. And, so the there's a technicality, and I will read this again from Cara Berg's, very detailed piece at the Detroit News. It it's it's worth your look at it. Under Florida law, principle theory means that anyone who is involved in the commission of a crime can be held responsible even if they were not there for the actual crime. This is how prosecutors are charging Arnold. Barnett testified that Arnold was in his vehicle outside the home as the victims were allegedly assaulted. So that means that there is sufficient evidence that Therion was there, that he was aware of what was going on, that he, quote, unquote, orchestrated it all. That's that's where the prosecution is going with it. The defense is arguing that he wasn't technically involved in the crimes, of, the detective Barnett did acknowledge that Arnold did not say anything on the FaceTime video that, was going on while the the crime was allegedly being commit. And, again, we have to keep saying allegedly and all that because it it's the world that we live in. Those of you old enough to remember the nineties, remember the OJ Simpson trial where everything had to be alleged. There are reasons for that that we don't need to get into today. So what happens now for Arnold? He is technically cleared to participate without, by the way, without an ankle monitor on his, leg. That means that he can participate in Lyon's practice. As the judge said, you know, ESPN will know, if, if he, isn't that practice, they'll like, the his in this case, Arnold's fame or relative fame and recognizability keeps him from being a like, the need to have him consistently monitored because there are limo drivers and pool guys who, who keep track of this sort of stuff for us. And while we don't always trust what they say, Terrence is a pretty recognizable guy. So in theory, he is able to come to training camp later this next month, still June. July hasn't started yet. Immersively comes later this week. But he can be there. Now before that happens, he is still facing he's an active NFL player, still facing six felony counts. And I wanna go back to something else that was in the, the hearing. And this is from

Speaker 3: Where is it at? Looking for the piece here, and I scrolled up and I shouldn't have done that. My bad. Alright. Where is it at here? So the judge basically said okay. I I went never mind. Apologize for that delay. I didn't edit that out, but I don't like doing the video editing. Y'all need to see the warts too. We get that. For Arnold, he's an active player still facing six felony counts. The the trial date has not yet been set. It should get set fairly soon, I would suspect. It's, you know, it's certainly not a victimless crime here. Until the trial takes place, I very strongly suspect that the NFL is going to come in and say, hey, lions. We're going to relieve you of the burden of having to worry about this, and we are gonna place Terry Ann Arnold on the commissioner's exempt list. That means he will still get paid. He is still eligible to attend meetings, but he cannot participate in practice or training camp for that matter. He can still, by the way, also get treatment for his, for his his shoulder surgery recovery, which has kept him, you know, somewhat he was present at OTAs. He did do some, positional drill work, and a little bit, you know, but he's he's not a 100%. I believe he said on the last day, he was the last person that we talked to before we left mini camp last week, two weeks ago. Last week, I was in Florida. My mind is still a little scattered from all the the travel that I'm on. Yesterday was not a fun travel day, but on the commissioner's exempt list, it means he's still a member of the Lions, but the Lions aren't in charge of meeting out punishment. And I wrote about this for the Detroit Lions podcast over the weekend. I was, consider it your daily for Saturday morning. But that's where we are at now. It is incumbent upon the NFL to deliver anything. The Lions, I'm sure will issue a statement. They might have already issued it, I haven't seen it yet. But don't expect the lions to say much or anything. By the way, they can't, and I outlined that earlier, in the piece that I wrote over the weekend. They can't cut him. They'd be foolish to cut him because it would cost them significant salary cap money. I know there's a lot of people that want the lines to just wash their hands of this whole situation right away. Can't do it that way. You can't. You might want that, but that's not what's gonna happen. While he's on the exempt list, and that's again, that's the next move. And I noticed the pro football talk. Excuse me, Mike Florio, who's a lawyer, suggested this, as others have. In the burgeoning field of sports legal coverage, there's a lot of it going on these days with Malik Beasley getting hit with charges today on organized gambling. Brendan Sorsby being like, it's quite didn't think about these things when I was, when I was in college thirty some years ago as a career path. There it is. As far as the Lions and Arnold, he's still here, still on the team. Again, though, I don't expect the lions to do anything. I do expect the league to put him on the exempt list until the trial takes place. Once that date gets set, then we'll have a better idea of when he might be available, but the lions have have to consider the fact that he is facing six felony charges. And if they can they basically have to consider the the strong probability that he will not be available. Even if he is cleared in the trial, you gotta think the league is gonna issue some level of suspension here for his alleged involvement. It's pretty obvious that he had something to do with at least why the crime was committed, whether overtly or, you know, covertly. I don't know. That's not for me to say. I'm certainly not involved in the legal process on that. But

Speaker 5: Hey. It's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.

Speaker 6: Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for twelve month plan required, $15 per month equivalent, taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. See terms.

Speaker 3: None of this would have happened without his involvement, and that was something that the the prosecutor has suggested as well, during the the lengthy hearing, which, again, you can watch on YouTube, and I do suggest you you go to that. I believe a couple of the the television stations in Detroit, live streamed it. You can probably find it on their archives as well. Where does that leave the lines for Arnold at a cornerback? Well, right now, they kinda have a battle for the number two quarterback spot opposite DJ Reed, which is where Terry and Arnold would have been competing for this year. And I do say competing for with the understanding that he was a very likely winner of that battle. I certainly, based on how he played before he got hurt last year, would have expected him to win that battle over Raq Yasin. Keith Abney is a fifth round rookie who's probably better in the slot. Roger McCreary who's better inside than outside. Monte Maddox hasn't played outside cornerback much in the last three or four years, so asking him to be out there. You know, it's a Nick Whiteside has had his moments, but you're probably looking at a guy who's gonna be a a a useful reserve. So now you're looking at a battle between those guys to start. Can the lions go out and find somebody off the street? Well, they can. But here's the rub on that. If you're a player that's free agent right now or available right now, maybe perhaps via trade, any hypothetical trade, and your agent comes to you and says, well, the Lions would like you to be Terry on Arnold insurance, but there's a chance that he can be cleared. There's a chance there is a chance he's there week one. I very seriously doubt that the legal process in Florida moves that fast, but okay. Or are there any suspense may maybe he's back week four. You're gonna commit to being in Detroit this summer for what might be a very limited gig. And then when Arnold comes back until he's ready to rock and roll on the field, you're gone. Or back burnered, probably the better way to say that. That's not an appealing sales pitch, y'all. It's not. You know, I've had several people ask me already about the availability of Denzel Ward from Cleveland. Herb, in theory, you could probably get a trade package to offer for him. I will say those of you who have misgivings about endless rake straws, durability, and Terry and Arnold's durability for that matter, Denzel is on concussion number four. He plays in a style that doesn't protect himself very well, and he is slightly built, one of the concerns that we've had about in his rig straw. So while he is a fantastic player when he's on the field, there are very viable questions about the Cleveland Browns' top quarterback's durability long term. He's also older. Sure. You can ask the Browns about that, but that's we're putting the card ahead of the horse here in that boat. But in theory, yes, he could be had, but it's not gonna be an inexpensive deal. He's a very good player, and the Browns, somewhat delusionally, think that they have a shot this year. It's summer. Everybody has hope, hasn't died yet. That means that the market is still a seller's market and not a buyer's market. But all that's inconsequential. So I have to now wait for the the NFL to get involved in with Terryon and see what happens with it. We'll stay on top of it. If the Lions produce something, we'll talk about that. The NFL does something, we'll talk about that. If Terryon's camp says something, we'll talk about that. But that's where we're at right now as of 02:26PM on Monday, June 29. Hopefully, we can talk about some other things this week as well as we get back into having a daily DLP that's actually daily. It did not have any over the weekend from Thursday on. Just life intervenes sometimes. I was technically on vacation. I don't really decompress well on vacation. I'm one of those people I need to keep working, but need to be dad a little bit over the weekend. That was kinda fun too. I've had a very nice nice time, watching far out 17 Joe coming fifth in the country in the top bracket. By the way, shout out to Legacy Volleyball Club in Detroit. They are the team that actually beat us in the quarter finals. They lost in the semifinals, to the team that actually won the national type. So, youth volleyball at 17 the 17 level, very, very strong representation in Florida, at the AAU Junior National Championships. It was very cool to see. Let's get back to some football for the rest of the week. I have a preliminary 53 man roster projection cooking. You will get the written version of at least the offense later today on Monday, and we will probably talk about that on Tuesday. Wednesday, I have a guest. I don't wanna give that away, but that's it's you're gonna like this one. It's, it's dealing with something that's completely unrelated to the the, twenty twenty six lions and and all the things that are going on right now. And I I think it will be a very welcome diversion. And then beyond that, we'll keep rolling some stuff out. But, until then, Jeff Risen signing out. Thanks for liking and subscribing. Be good to one another, everybody.
