Released by the Texans in August of 2025.
Released by Houston
Arnette was released by the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback signed with Houston in June and picked off a pass in the preseason, but it wasn't enough to help him stick on the Texans' 53-man roster. Arnette was a first-round pick of the Raiders in 2020, but he has not appeared in an NFL regular-season game since 2021. He has 29 career tackles (23 solo) and three pass breakups.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
The 2020 first-rounder recorded just 25 tackles (21 solo) and two passes defensed in nine games during his rookie campaign, also missing Weeks 4-9 due to a thumb injury that required surgery. The Raiders added veteran Casey Hayward to the secondary this offseason, so Arnette no longer has the inside track to a starting role at cornerback opposite Trayvon Mullen.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Returning to NFL
Arnette, a 2020 first-round pick of the Raiders, signed a one-year deal with the Texans on Wednesday following a successful stint in the UFL, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran cornerback played in only 13 regular-season games for Las Vegas over the 2020 and 2021 campaigns before being released after multiple legal problems surfaced. Arnette was entangled in several more off-field issues after that point, but he managed to play and stand out through the entire 2025 UFL campaign with the Houston Roughnecks, which also afforded Texans scouts an up-close look at his current level of play.
