Schneider on Arnold: Character didn't fit allegations

The Seahawks finally signed cornerback Terrion Arnold, more than two weeks after agreeing to a deal, with the NFL promptly placing him on paid leave due to felony charges related to an alleged kidnapping and armed robbery in Florida. Schneider explained the team's consideration of multiple factors, including the legal process and advocacy from within the organization, particularly from former player Leon Washington who has a relationship with Arnold. likesport.biz

Schneider acknowledged the allegations are 'shocking' and admitted they would have been a concern if Arnold had been on the roster when they occurred. Despite this, the team sees a 'long-term play' in signing the 2024 first-round pick, with plans to get him in the building and assess the situation.
