Dan Campbell 'not surprised' Seahawks taking chance on ex-Lions CB Terrion Arnold
Arnold is facing multiple felony charges that carry a maximum sentence of up to life in prison.
Head coach Dan Campbell of the Detroit Lions expressed surprise at the Seattle Seahawks' decision to give former Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold a chance, despite Arnold's eight felony charges for an armed robbery and kidnapping involving multiple victims. Campbell, who stood by Arnold during the initial allegations, stated that no Seahawks personnel reached out to him personally for intel on Arnold.
Arnold, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, faces a potential life sentence. The Lions released Arnold on June 29 after a pretrial detention hearing. The Seahawks were one of several teams that invited Arnold for a visit. Both the Lions and Seahawks emphasized their strong opinions about the situation, but ultimately decided to give Arnold a chance.
