After releasing Terrion Arnold, the Detroit Lions are likely to be on the lookout for more cornerback help between now and Week 1 and the Dallas Cowboys are a team that could help via trade.

The Lions announced the release of their 2024 first-round pick on Monday and it comes on the heels of Arnold being hit with kidnapping and armed robbery charges.

Arnold was set to compete for a starting job after a disappointing start to his career over two seasons, but he was likely to win it with Detroit not having much competition for the role.

And that lack of competition now means the Lions are in a bind and need to make some kind of addition at some point.

That's where the Cowboys could come in.

Cowboys could have excess at cornerback

After what we saw last season with injuries and ineffective play, it's hard to envision a world where the Cowboys could have an extra cornerback available for trade, but it's possible.

The Cowboys have DaRon Bland at one boundary spot and he figures to be locked in to that job, at least to begin the season. Whether or not he keeps it or stays healthy remains to be seen.
