Terrion Arnold on Commissioner's Exempt List | Seattle Seahawks News

Terrion Arnold, Seattle’s newly signed first-round draft pick, is now on the NFL’s commissioner’s exempt list — meaning he can’t play or practice, even though he’s still getting paid. The move follows his release by the Lions earlier this summer amid allegations he was involved in a February kidnapping tied to a $100K robbery he claims was staged against him. Arnold turned himself in June 24th facing eight felony charges, including armed robbery and kidnapping — all while insisting he’s innocent. His legal team says there’s no credible evidence linking him to the case. After being waived by Detroit, Arnold visited other teams before signing with Seattle on August 13th. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald defended the decision, explaining the team’s rationale shortly after. The commissioner’s exempt list allows the league to manage such legal situations without disrupting team operations — keeping Arnold off the field until his case is resolved.
