Texans bring Damon Arnette back to NFL after three-year absence and disturbing death threat video
NY Post
Damon Arnette is getting a second chance at an NFL life.
The 28-year-old cornerback, released by the Raiders in 2021 after posting a video to social media in which he brandished weapons and threatened an unnamed individual’s life, signed on with the Houston Texans on Friday.
A first-round pick in the 2020 draft, Arnette was charged in a hit-and-run incident before posting and deleting the video.
“From my perspective, he’s a very talented young man with a good heart,” then-Raiders GM Mike Maycock said. “He cleans up his life, I know he can make a living in the NFL. But not now, with the Raiders.”
His legal woes continued as he sought work, getting jailed in Las Vegas in January 2022 — nine days after signing a futures contract with the Chiefs — on two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, carrying or concealing a gun without a permit, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of marijuana or cannabis.
While the case was dropped by Clark County officials, he agreed to a plea deal after a grand jury later indicted him on the weapons-related charges.
