Ex-Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold wasn’t unemployed for long.

The former Alabama Crimson Tide All-American was a first-round pick back in 2024, and despite showing promise of being a future shutdown corner, he was released last month after running into legal trouble and facing possible felony charges.

Though there’s some questions that need to be answered about his NFL future — Arnold will potentially have to serve a multi-game suspension before he can play again — that didn’t stop the Seattle Seahawks from giving him a second chance.

Multiple reports indicate that the defending Super Bowl champions are signing Arnold just weeks before the start of the regular season.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, it was one of Arnold’s former Alabama teammates that helped seal the deal on him landing in the Emerald City.

“Terrion Arnold is close friends with #Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe, who gave the organization positive reviews about the type of person Arnold would be in the Seattle building and how he would fit their culture,” Schultz reported.

Arnold worked out for multiple NFL teams, and it was speculated that he would be signing a contract sometime before the regular season started.

Arnold’s workout with the Seahawks was said to have been “great,” and head coach Mike Macdonald didn’t seem bothered by the CB’s looming situation off the field.

“It’s a situation where there’s other things that are surrounding it,” Macdonald told reporters earlier this week. “We’re aware of that. But we’re working through the situation right now. But it was a great visit. I really enjoyed meeting him, and I think he enjoyed being here, so we’ll see where it goes.”
