Overview
- The Seahawks agreed to a one-year contract with cornerback Trevon Diggs, a deal reported and confirmed on Wednesday, Aug. 19.
- Diggs is a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback and 2021 first-team All‑Pro who led the NFL with 11 interceptions, but he has played only sparingly since a torn ACL in 2023 and subsequent knee surgeries.
- Seattle still plans to add former Lions corner Terrion Arnold, who faces eight felony charges from an alleged February Tampa incident and is expected to be placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List if signed, which bars him from practice and games while the league and courts review the case.
- The signing addresses a thin cornerback room after departures and camp injuries and reflects staff familiarity with both players from Alabama and past coaching connections that informed the evaluation.
- The one-year deal is a low-cost, short-term bet that could yield immediate help if Diggs stays healthy; the next developments to watch are Diggs’ availability in preseason and the timing and outcome of Arnold’s exempt-list placement and legal process.
