Terrion Arnold to be placed on commissioner's exempt list if signed by Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks are in talks to sign former Detroit Lions first-round draft pick Terrion Arnold, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. If signed, Arnold would be placed on the commissioner's exempt list, which would prohibit him from playing or practicing with the team. The 23-year-old cornerback from Florida was arrested earlier this summer on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping, which carry a possible life sentence.

The Seattle team and general manager Dan Campbell expressed no surprise at Arnold's potential signing, emphasizing that all teams conduct thorough due diligence during the draft process. Arnold, who stands 6'0" and weighs 195 pounds, started 22 games for the Lions in his first two seasons, recording 91 tackles, one fumble recovery, and an interception. As of now, Arnold remains unsigned.
