I am all for second chances, so I have no problem with Arnette signing with the Dolphins.
One would hope that his time with the Raiders and why he was released will give him some perspective on how the NFL stands for “Not For Long,” even if you are a first-round draft pick.
This might be his last shot, so we will see if he makes the most of it. Here is the update via TMZ Sports.
Damon Arnette — who was cut by the Raiders after he recorded himself waving around firearms while threatening somebody — has just been signed by the Dolphins.
The team announced the move Wednesday … saying it’s added Arnette to its practice squad just over one month after the Raiders released him.
The move is surprising — because while Arnette, a former first-round pick, is talented, his off-field issues have certainly raised some concerns.
The 25-year-old defensive back has been hit with two lawsuits in the past year — with one alleging he injured a woman during a car crash in 2020.
Of course, disturbing video of Arnette brandishing guns also surfaced in November — and in the clip, the former Ohio State star can be heard making threats to somebody.
“I swear to God I will kill you, n****,” Arnette says in the footage. “On everything I love, I will kill you, n****. You talking crazy.”
Arnette was showing off guns the size of Lil Bow Wow in his Instagram videos, which got him released. Listen, fans will say what they are going to say, but always remember when you have something to lose, silence is sometimes the best option to take. It potentially could save you MILLIONS of dollars.
Good luck to Arnette in the future, and please put the guns away.
