After spending less than a season with the Detroit Lions, the team has cut cornerback Arthur Maulet in a surprise move. The secondary issues for the Lions continue to haunt them since their NFC Divisional Round disaster last year against the Washington Commanders. Despite signing a few promising secondary men in an attempt to boost the corps, DJ Reed and other talent on the roster haven’t been able to stay healthy. Oddly, the Lions did indeed cut Maulet ever since signing him originally to the practice squad while dealing with injuries to Terrion Arnold and Khalil Dorsey as well.
Breaking: Lions Cut Former Undrafted Talent Arthur Maulet; 3 Teams Could Sign Him
Since his debut in Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Maulet was in a situational role where he went on to record 14 tackles, one pass defensed and an interception. It’s not the best numbers from him or any cornerback that would intrigue a team to offer him the top-notch contract, but given that he has had over 170 snaps between Week 6 to now, it’s still decent. Maulet isn’t expected to light up a team’s secondary or make game-altering moves to put a defense in a different momentum, but he’s still a solid fit as a backup. With Reed and Dorsey back from IR, there wasn’t room for Maulet anymore, but his potential should interest these three teams.
