The Seattle Seahawks have signed cornerback Terrion Arnold to a one-year, minimum-salary contract following a visit and tryout in August. Arnold, a former first-round pick from the University of Alabama, joins Seattle after being waived by the Detroit Lions in June following his arrest. Arnold faces eight felony charges in Florida, including kidnapping, armed robbery, and conspiracy. Prosecutors allege he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men in February after wrongly suspecting them of stealing $100,000 and luxury goods. Arnold and his legal team deny all wrongdoing, maintaining there is ‘no credible evidence’ against him. He remains under home confinement on a $1 million bond. Following the signing, the NFL placed Arnold on the Commissioner’s Exempt List. This designation allows him to attend meetings and workouts but prohibits him from participating in games or practices while legal proceedings are ongoing. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald stated the organization performed due diligence and received ‘overwhelmingly positive’ feedback regarding the player before the signing. ~~In Detroit, General Manager Brad Holmes previously noted that moving on from~~ Arnold ~~was ‘the best~~ is currently using his time to study the team’s defensive system and ~~right thing’~~ continue training to prepare for ~~the organization after receiving additional information regarding~~ a future opportunity.

Arnold has a scheduled court appearance on October 5. 5, and without a plea deal, his legal process is unlikely to conclude before the end of the 2026 season.
