RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks and cornerback Terrion Arnold are working on a contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Arnold, 23, is facing eight felony charges stemming from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men in February. He became a free agent in June, when the Detroit Lions released him a few days after the kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy charges were levied.
Prosecutors in Florida said Arnold arranged for the men to be pistol-whipped after he wrongly suspected them of stealing $100,000 in cash and luxury goods from him. Police called him the "primary conspirator" in the Feb. 4 attack, and a judge set his bail at $1 million.
The Seahawks hosted Arnold on Sunday, two days before he visited the New York Giants. Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Arnold’s visit and tryout went well. The Seahawks would look into Arnold’s background as part of their decision-making process.
海鹰队与面临重罪指控的角卫特里昂·阿诺德正在洽谈合同
华盛顿州伦顿（美联社）——海鹰队与角卫特里昂·阿诺德正在洽谈合同，一位知情人士周四对美联社表示。
阿诺德，23岁，面临八项重罪指控，涉及他在2月份策划绑架和殴打三名男子的指控。他在6月成为自由球员，此前底特律雄狮队在对他提出绑架、持械抢劫和阴谋指控几天后解雇了他。
佛罗里达州的检方称，阿诺德安排对这些男子进行持枪殴打，因为他错误地怀疑他们偷走了他10万美元现金和奢侈品。警方称他是2月4日袭击事件的“主要共谋”，法官将他的保释金定为100万美元。
海鹰队在周日接待了阿诺德，距离他访问纽约巨人队仅两天。教练麦克唐纳周一表示，阿诺德的访问和试训进展顺利。海鹰队将在决策过程中调查阿诺德的背景。
