Terrion Arnold reportedly planning to sign with Seahawks amid kidnapping, armed robbery charges
Arnold was released by the Lions following his arrest in June.
Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is reportedly set to join the Seattle Seahawks despite facing felony charges of kidnapping and armed robbery. Arnold was apprehended in Florida on June 24 and charged with four counts of kidnapping and four counts of armed robbery following his voluntary surrender to authorities. He was released on a $1 million bond five days later, having initially been held without bond.
The Lions subsequently released him. Despite his legal troubles, Arnold has attracted interest from several NFL teams, including Houston Texans, New York Giants, and New Orleans Saints, in addition to the Seahawks. His release from prison allows for potential signing with Seattle while his trial remains pending. However, the NFL's personal conduct policy could still penalize him with suspension or placement on the Commissioner’s Exempt List for this upcoming season.
Arnold, who was drafted by Detroit with the 24th overall pick in 2024, played 24 games for the Lions over two seasons, recording 23 solo tackles and an interception in his 2025 season after undergoing shoulder surgery in December. His arraignment for the February incident that led to his arrest has been scheduled for Thursday, with a follow-up hearing on October 5 in person in Tampa.
