Kansas City Chiefs passing game coordinator said Patrick Mahomes’ knee issues are ‘non-existent’ entering training camp. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes ask if the Chiefs will bounce back in 2026 and if Aaron Donald could have an impact on the Los Angeles Rams after having a formal tryout.

Terrion Arnold, the former Detroit Lions first-round pick, is no longer a free agent.

Arnold and the Seattle Seahawks have reached a deal to bring him into the fold with the reigning Super Bowl champions, according to multiple reports.

The Lions, who selected Arnold with their first-round pick in 2024, released him in June after he was arrested in Tampa, Florida, on felony charges connected to a robbery and kidnapping from February.

The Seahawks were among the teams that Arnold visited earlier this week as he looked for his next chapter in the league. He also visited with the Houston Texans, New York Giants and New Orleans Saints.

But the Seahawks, who already tout a superb defense on paper, are who Arnold wants to play with next. In fact, during HBO’s "Hard Knocks," GM John Schneider was even seen discussing the potential of signing Arnold to the roster.

Head coach Mike Macdonald also noted the "great tryout" Arnold had while in Seattle.

"It’s a situation where there’s other things that are surrounding it," Macdonald told reporters this week. "We’re aware of that. But we’re working through the situation right now. But it was a great visit. I really enjoyed meeting him, and I think he enjoyed being here, so we’ll see where it goes."

Arnold is facing eight felony charges from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men in February.

Prosecutors said in June that Arnold arranged for the men to be pistol-whipped after he suspected them of stealing $100,000 in cash and luxury goods from him. He was described as the "primary conspirator" of the incident, and Hillsborough County Judge Christopher Sabella set his bail at $1 million.

However, Arnold’s attorney, R. Timothy Jansen, said in Hillsborough County Court this summer his client will be "absolutely denying these allegations." His agency, EAG Sports Management, added there is "no credible evidence" against him in this case.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell also noted in March that the team did not believe Arnold was involved in this case based on the information they had at the time.
