Schneider: Seahawks Would Have Cut Arnold Over Allegations

During a sideline conversation captured on the latest episode of 'Hard Knocks,' Seahawks general manager John Schneider explained that the team would have cut cornerback Terrion Arnold if faced with the 'shocking' allegations that led to his release by the Lions. 'If it was flipped, it'd probably be the same thing here,' Schneider admitted to special-teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh. 'I think we probably would have had to let him go.' goldparty.lat

The revelation comes as the Seahawks have already agreed to sign Arnold, who was arrested on eight felony charges before being cut by the Detroit Lions. Schneider confirmed the team conducted due diligence on the situation, including speaking with former Alabama coach Nick Saban about Arnold.
