SEATTLE – The Seahawks are signing free agent cornerback Terrion Arnold, a source confirmed to the Seattle Times.

The Seahawks had Arnold in for a visit Sunday afternoon.

Arnold was waived by the Detroit Lions in June after he was charged with eight felonies in connection to an alleged incident in February in Tampa.

Arnold was reported to have an arraignment set for Thursday in Tampa. However, a spokesperson for the Hillsborough (Fla.) District Attorney said the arraignment was held via Zoom earlier. His next court action is a status hearing on Monday, Oct. 5 at 9 a.m. in Tampa. That will be the day after the Seahawks host the Los Angeles Chargers.

Arnold was the 24th overall pick of the Lions in 2024 out of Alabama and played in 24 games over the past two seasons.
