Terrion Arnold signs with Seahawks but placed on exempt list

Terrion Arnold has officially signed with the Seattle Seahawks, with the announcement made on August 29. Following his signing, Arnold was placed on the commissioner's exempt list, preventing him from practicing or playing. He was released by the Detroit Lions earlier this year after facing eight felony charges, including armed robbery and kidnapping. The Seahawks are addressing depth concerns at cornerback, as Arnold will not count against the 53-man roster while on the exempt list. The move allows the team to maintain flexibility as the regular season approaches.
