Summary
- Cornerback Terrion Arnold signed with Seahawks but faces felony charges.
- Arnold placed on NFL commissioner's exempt list pending investigation.
- He faces kidnapping and armed robbery charges from a February incident.
The Seattle Seahawks have made an official move by signing cornerback Terrion Arnold, who was previously released by the Detroit Lions. Arnold's agreement with the Seahawks was finalized on Saturday. He faces serious felony charges, including kidnapping and armed robbery, stemming from a February incident.
Following the contract's official status, reports confirmed Arnold will be placed on the NFL commissioner's exempt list. This list is a paid leave status used by the NFL to investigate off-the-field issues. While on this list, Arnold is unable to practice or play with the Seahawks but will receive his full salary and can attend team meetings.
The investigation into Arnold's alleged involvement in a plot to lure and rob individuals is ongoing. He is scheduled to appear in court on October 5. The NFL's decision to place him on the exempt list allows the league time to determine if disciplinary action is necessary under its personal conduct policy.
