Seahawks Weigh Risk-Reward of Adding Controversial CB Terrion Arnold

The Seattle Seahawks reportedly have shown interest in free-agent cornerback Terrion Arnold, who is facing felony charges of armed robbery and kidnapping in Florida. Arnold has drawn interest from several teams, including a Texans workout and upcoming visits, with a potential signing within about 45 days. If added, he could help Seattle’s cornerback depth, but his off-field case poses questions about discipline, availability, and impact on the locker room.

Ex-Lions CB Terrion Arnold draws NFL interest from four teams amid legal case

Agent for former Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold says four NFL teams (Texans, Jets, Colts, Seahawks) have shown interest and he recently worked out for Houston, with no deal yet; Arnold is facing four counts of kidnapping and four counts of armed robbery in Florida, is under home confinement with a $1 million bond after Lions waived him for financial reasons, and a Florida judge denied the state's motion to place an ankle monitor, allowing him to pursue NFL opportunities as his case proceeds.

Lions retool cornerback room after Terrion Arnold’s release

Detroit Lions released cornerback Terrion Arnold after his arrest on kidnapping and armed robbery charges, creating a hole in Detroit’s secondary. With Arnold’s status uncertain and his injury history, Detroit is leaning on D.J. Reed and Rock Ya-Sin with Roger McCreary and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the mix, while weighing veteran free agents such as Rasul Douglas, Tre'Davious White, Kenny Moore and Trevon Diggs to bolster depth.

Chiefs Re-sign L’Jarius Sneed on One-Year Deal

The Kansas City Chiefs are bringing back cornerback L’Jarius Sneed on a one-year deal worth up to $5 million, returning to the team that drafted him in 2020 after a stint with the Titans. Sneed started 54 games and appeared in 13 postseason contests, including the team’s recent Super Bowl runs, and is known for a key goal-line fumble in the AFC Championship. With KC reshuffling the CB room after departures and adding young players in this year’s draft, Sneed’s return adds veteran depth as the 90-man roster moves continue.

Cowboys OTAs spot key depth battles across defense and backfield

At Cowboys OTAs in Frisco, depth is the story: with DaRon Bland out, corners Cobie Durant, Shavon Revel Jr., Caelen Carson and others rotate for starts; Caleb Downs works in the slot. In the backfield, Phil Mafah and Jaydon Blue flash as contenders for the No. 2 RB behind Pollard, with undrafted Dominic Richardson in the mix. DeMarvion Overshown’s absence opens snaps for Dee Winters and Shemar James with the first team, while Curtis Robinson and Justin Barron rotate on the second team. Marquez Valdes-Scantling sees heavy first‑team work with George Pickens away, and Ryan Flournoy works in the slot. The backup quarterback competition remains unsettled, with Joe Milton III getting more second‑team reps than Sam Howell, and safeties Locke and Malik Hooker anchoring the first-team defense as others rotate in.

Indianapolis also waived linebacker John Bullock.

Travis Hunter to split reps at WR and CB for Jaguars in 2026

Jaguars GM James Gladstone says Travis Hunter will play on both sides of the ball in 2026, with an expected uptick in cornerback usage while continuing his wide receiver duties. Hunter’s rookie season featured 28 receptions for 298 yards and a TD on offense and 15 tackles on defense before a season-ending knee injury; the team emphasizes Hunter’s dual-role fit and is prioritizing corner depth this season. He has expressed a long-standing desire to play both ways, and Jacksonville plans to support that to help win games.

Packers Bet on a Football Junkie in Brandon Cisse

Packers’ second-round pick Brandon Cisse is praised by South Carolina coach Torrian Gray as a true football junkie with elite football IQ and relentless work ethic, a player who transformed his body and shows strong run defense and potential in press-man and zone coverage; while his ball skills and turnover production are still developing, his intangibles and love of the game make him a strong fit for Green Bay under GM Brian Gutekunst.
