Seahawks Confirm No Signing of Cornerback Terrion Arnold Amid Legal Issues
Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider told NBC Sports that the franchise would probably have released cornerback Terrion Arnold if the pending felony charges were confirmed, confirming that the team has not signed the former Detroit Lions first-round pick. The team began evaluating Arnold in early August, with coach Mike Macdonald saying a tryout was held and that the Seahawks were conducting thorough due-diligence before any contract decision. By mid-August, reports said the Seahawks had reached a tentative one-year agreement, but the signing remained on hold pending league review and Arnold’s upcoming arraignment, and the club indicated he would be placed on the NFL Commissioner’s exempt list and placed on paid leave if signed.
