Arrington spent his entire career except part of the 2009 season with the Patriots, serving as a starter for much of his tenure in New England. His best season arguably came in 2011, when he led the NFL in interceptions with seven and batted away a career-high 13 passes. While playing in a more limited role last year, Arrington helped the Patriots to the Super Bowl where they defeated the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24.
In Baltimore, Arrington will likely play in nickel and sub packages, perhaps handling slot duties. He also provides veteran experience should Lardarius Webb or Jimmy Smith suffer more injuries.
For his career, Arrington has accumulated 283 tackles, 48 passes defensed, nine picks, five fumbles and three sacks. He also returned an interception for a touchdown.
