According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Seahawks are showing interest in a former first-round cornerback who was recently cut by the Detroit Lions.
“Sources: The #Seahawks had former Lions CB Terrion Arnold in for a visit today,” Schultz posted on X . “This is the second visit for Arnold, who previously met with the Texans and has interest from other teams as well.”
Arnold, 23, was released by Detroit last month after news broke he could be facing life in prison for an off-the-field incident. The former Alabama star was drafted 24th overall by the Lions back in 2024, and he was primed to be the team’s CB1 this season before getting into legal trouble.
Multiple teams have shown interest in him since his release, but he’s likely facing a lengthy suspension if and when he does return to the NFL, which could be holding up his signing with another team.
In a season-and-a-half (he missed nine games last year due to injury), Arnold totaled 91 tackles, 18 passes defended, one interception, and one fumble recovery. He also allowed a completion percentage against of 59% and he surrendered six touchdowns, according to Pro Football Focus.
The Seahawks ranked 10th in passing defense last season, allowing 193.9 yards per game. They also recorded the fifth-most interceptions (18) and allowed the fourth-lowest passer rating again (77.9).
Seattle returns its top two CBs in Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe, but it does have a hole to fill with Riq Woolen bolting to the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency.
