By Lee Vowell
In Seattle Seahawks news for your Sunday, DK Metcalf and Lamar Jackson have a funny Twitter exchange. But one former Seahawk gets arrested.

The charge against Brown is possession of a concealed firearm. He was taken into custody by the Los Angeles police department after the gun was found.
