Seahawks plan to place Terrion Arnold on exempt list if signed

The Seattle Seahawks have not yet signed free agent cornerback Terrion Arnold. Reports indicate that if the Seahawks sign Arnold, he will immediately be placed on the commissioner's exempt list, preventing him from playing. This situation is unusual, as Arnold faces eight felony charges that could lead to a life sentence. The Seahawks are reportedly evaluating the timing of a potential signing, and it may take some time, casting doubt on whether Arnold will ultimately join the team.
