Seahawks Back Out of Terrion Arnold Deal | Seattle Seahawks News

Seattle Seahawks nearly pulled off a surprise move to sign cornerback Terrion Arnold, a former first-round pick, but the deal fizzled out as they pivoted to land Trevon Diggs instead. Arnold’s path has been rocky since his 2023 draft debut — he’s facing serious felony charges including kidnapping and armed robbery, prompting the Lions to cut ties quickly. While the Seahawks were willing to gamble on him for preseason play, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport revealed that even if signed, Arnold would immediately hit the Commissioner Exempt list — no practice, no games. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio doubts the deal will happen at all, questioning whether Seattle will wait until after the preseason — which wouldn’t change his eligibility. Arnold’s next court date is October 5th, with potential for a plea deal that could influence future NFL discipline. For now? No contract, leaving the door open for another team — but don’t expect him on the field anytime soon. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
