The Seattle Seahawks remain interested in signing former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, who has agreed to terms but is facing eight felony charges in a Florida case with a Oct. 5 court date.

The Seattle Seahawks signed cornerback Terrion Arnold, the former Lions first‑round pick who is facing eight pending felony charges related to a February robbery and kidnapping and could be placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.

Former Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, released after a February arrest, has drawn NFL interest from the Texans, Jets, Colts and Seahawks despite not being signed; a court refused to impose an ankle monitor, but teams risk Commissioner’s Exempt List status if they sign him while his case remains unresolved—so far no offers have been extended.
Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers has been removed from the NFL's commissioner exempt list, making him eligible to return to team activities and potentially play against the Colts.
