Sources: Facing charges, Terrion Arnold set to join Seahawks

Key Points:

• Terrion Arnold, a cornerback released by the Detroit Lions after being charged with multiple felonies, plans to sign a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks despite facing serious legal issues.
• Arnold faces eight felony charges related to a February kidnapping and robbery case in Tampa, Florida, and has pleaded not guilty; his next court hearing is scheduled for October 5.
• The Seahawks are aware of Arnold's legal situation and may place him on the NFL commissioner's exempt list, which would prevent him from playing or practicing while the league investigates.
• Arnold's signing comes amid Seattle's need for depth at cornerback following the departure of Riq Woolen, with other players competing for the No. 3 cornerback spot.
• The Seahawks have prior connections to Arnold through defensive backs coach Karl Scott and quarterback Jalen Milroe, who both have ties to Arnold from their time at Alabama.
