Playing Professional Football
Arthur Miley started his professional football journey in 2015. He played for a few different teams during his career.
Carolina Panthers

In February 2016, the Panthers played in Super Bowl 50. This is the championship game of the NFL season. The Panthers lost the game to the Denver Broncos by a score of 24 to 10. Miley was released by the Panthers on September 3, 2016. This means the team let him go.
Miami Dolphins
On January 10, 2017, Miley signed a contract with the Miami Dolphins. This was a reserve/future contract. It means he signed for the next season. He was later waived by the team on August 7, 2017. Being waived means a team removes a player from its roster.
Back with the Carolina Panthers
Miley returned to the Panthers briefly. He was claimed off waivers by the team on August 8, 2017. This means the Panthers picked him up after the Dolphins waived him. However, he was waived again by the Panthers on September 1, 2017.
