Although free agent cornerback Terrion Arnold has been awaiting trial since a late-June arrest on felony kidnapping and armed robbery charges, teams are showing interest in the former Lion. During a hearing in a Florida court on Friday, agent Nicole Lynn testified that the Texans, Colts, Jets and Seahawks contacted her about signing Arnold.
It appears we can already rule out the Seahawks, who are not expected to continue their pursuit, an NFL source told Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. It seems the Seahawks were just doing their due diligence on Arnold, a 2024 first-round pick, as Condotta notes they have a “long-stated policy of being in on everything going on around the league.”
A strong secondary was among the main reasons Seattle won the Super Bowl last season. Despite losing Riq Woolen to the Eagles in free agency, the Seahawks continue to boast a formidable group of cornerbacks. They have the excellent duo of Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe as their starting boundary corners, and the hope is second-round rookie Julian Neal will help fill Woolen’s void. Behind them, Seattle has free agent pickup Noah Igbinoghene, Nehemiah Pritchett, and 2026 seventh-rounders Andre Fuller and Michael Dansby as depth.
While the 23-year-old Arnold could eventually land with the Texans, Colts, Jets or someone else, nobody knows if he will play another down in the league. Accused of being the “primary conspirator” in a revenge plot to abduct and beat three men who he believed stole over $250K in property from him, Arnold faces up to life in prison if convicted.
Arnold is currently confined to his home in Florida, but he is allowed to leave for work- or attorney-related meetings. The two-year veteran worked out for the Texans on Thursday and has visits scheduled with two other teams next week.
