Seahawks sign Trevon Diggs, still plan on signing Terrion Arnold
Seahawks plan to sign two former Alabama players
The Seattle Seahawks have signed cornerback Trevon Diggs to a one-year contract, according to a recent announcement made by the team. Diggs previously played for the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers before being waived by the Packers last year. The Seahawks are eager to add Diggs to their roster, looking to bolster their defense.
Diggs made history in 2021 by tying an NFL record with seven interceptions in his first six games. He concluded the season with a franchise record of 11 interceptions, despite facing several injury setbacks. Despite these challenges, the Seahawks see value in bringing Diggs back to the team that won the Super Bowl last year.
There is also a possibility that the Seahawks could sign Terrion Arnold, another former Alabama athlete. Arnold was part of the Detroit Lions' roster but was subsequently released after being charged with eight counts of felony kidnapping and armed robbery. If the Seahawks decide to bring Arnold in, he would be placed on the exempt list.
This would mean he would not be able to participate in practices or games but could still attend team meetings and work on individual drills. Arnold would also be eligible for any necessary medical treatment or rehabilitation.
The Seahawks have yet to make a decision on whether Arnold will join the team, as they are weighing the risks and benefits. For now, Arnold is expected to receive his salary, but it remains uncertain when or if he will be allowed to participate in team activities.
