Seahawks sign former first-round Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold despite looming felony charges

Terrion Arnold, the former Detroit Lions first-round pick, is no longer a free agent.

Arnold and the Seattle Seahawks have reached a deal to bring him into the fold with the reigning Super Bowl champions, according to multiple reports.

The Lions, who selected Arnold with their first-round pick in 2024, released him in June after he was arrested in Tampa, Florida, on felony charges connected to a robbery and kidnapping from February.

He also visited with the Houston Texans , New York Giants and New Orleans Saints.

But the Seahawks, who already tout a superb defense on paper, are who Arnold wants to play with next.

In fact, during HBO’s "Hard Knocks," GM John Schneider was even seen discussing the potential of signing Arnold to the roster.

Head coach Mike Macdonald also noted the "great tryout" Arnold had while in Seattle.

LIONS RELEASE TERRION ARNOLD AFTER BOND SET AT $1 MILLION IN ARMED ROBBERY, KIDNAPPING CASE "It’s a situation where there’s other things that are surrounding it," Macdonald told reporters this week.

"We’re aware of that.

But we’re working through the situation right now.

But it was a great visit.

I really enjoyed meeting him, and I think he enjoyed being here, so we’ll see where it goes." Arnold is facing eight felony charges from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men in February.

Prosecutors said in June that Arnold arranged for the men to be pistol-whipped after he suspected them of stealing $100,000 in cash and luxury goods from him.
