Seahawks Sign Terrion Arnold While His Criminal Case Remains Open

The defending champions added a former first‑round cornerback in a low‑cost move that accepts legal uncertainty in exchange for potential on‑field upside.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Thursday that Seattle agreed to a one‑year deal with Terrion Arnold, who worked out for the Seahawks after visits with the Texans, Saints and Giants.
  • Arnold surrendered to police on June 24 and faces eight felony counts related to an alleged February kidnapping and armed robbery that prosecutors say he helped coordinate.
  • A judge released Arnold on a $1 million bond with home‑confinement and limited travel for work, a condition that allowed him to attend team workouts and visits.
  • The NFL must decide whether to place Arnold on the Commissioner's Exempt List, a discretionary administrative step that would bar him from playing or practicing while preserving pay.
  • Two co‑defendants have pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors, Arnold has pleaded not guilty, and his next court status hearing is scheduled for Oct. 5 in Tampa.
