Seahawks work out Trevon Diggs amid Terrion Arnold exempt list risk

Diggs has played just 22 games over the last three seasons.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Aug 181 min read

What happened: The Seattle Seahawks worked out free agent cornerback Trevon Diggs, according to the NFL personnel notice. Seattle is exploring secondary options after agreeing to terms with free agent Terrion Arnold, who has not officially signed.

Why it matters: Arnold reportedly faces placement on the commissioner's exempt list if he joins the roster, leaving the cornerback rotation unsettled. Diggs brings familiarity with the current staff, having previously played under Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde with the Dallas Cowboys and defensive backs coach Karl Scott at Alabama.

By the numbers: Diggs led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021, but multiple knee surgeries have limited him to 22 games since 2023. He most recently played 34 snaps for the Green Bay Packers before becoming a free agent in January, and also recently worked out for the Detroit Lions.

What to watch: Seattle will evaluate the workout as they structure their defensive backfield for the upcoming season.
