Precursory Interest or Not, Seahawks Should Just Say No to Terrion Arnold
Under the leadership of general manager John Schneider and coach Mike Macdonald, the Seattle Seahawks have employed the philosophy of “chasing edges,” always looking for new ways to find advantages compared to the rest of the league in everything from practice field prep to film study to exploring free agent possibilities to improve the roster.
That mindset has been instrumental to the franchise’s rapid re-ascent to NFC powerhouse, culminating in a Super Bowl LX victory over the Patriots in February to bring the Lombardi Trophy back to the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. At this point, nobody should question Schneider or Macdonald when they contemplate ways to continue improving and evolving with the goal of staying a step ahead of the rest of the league.
But there’s always a line in the sand that shouldn’t be crossed. And the Seahawks may now be flirting too much with crossing that very line.
According to the player’s agent Nicole Lynn, who testified at a hearing for her client on Friday morning, free agent cornerback Terrion Arnold has received interest from four teams about potentially signing him as he faces felony charges in Tampa, Florida. Among the four teams she cited, the Seahawks apparently have inquired about the former first round pick, along with the Texans, Colts, and the Jets, with Houston reportedly bringing him in for a physical on Friday.
An additional report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter indicated Arnold will visit with two more teams next week, though specifics on which teams have not come to light. It remains to be seen whether or not Seattle will be one of those two teams that brings him into the building.
