GREEN BAY, Wis. – Cornerback Damon Arnette, a former first-round pick who is trying to resurrect his career, has signed with the Houston Texans. The Green Bay Packers were interested, according to NFL insider Aaron Wilson.
Arnette was the 19th pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He started seven of his nine appearances as a rookie and played in four games in 2021.
The Raiders released him in November 2021 after a viral video in which Arnette held multiple guns and threatened to kill someone. Before the video, he reportedly crashed four rental cars in a month and was the subject of a lawsuit after allegedly crashing into a woman’s car.
