The Seattle Seahawks are the reigning Super Bowl Champions, and for that reason, fans should be excited heading into the 2026 season. While there’s definitely a great deal of excitement, there’s unfortunately some valid concern as well from the 12s.
Seattle is, undoubtedly, still a strong team, but the franchise isn’t being secretive about what it feels is a big weakness. That weakness is the cornerback room, which the Seahawks have shed light on with a couple of recent actions.
Of course, Seattle is lucky to have Devon Witherspoon, who they just made the highest-paid corner in NFL history, but things get really spooky after him. The Seahawks have made it clear how they feel about their cornerbacks, outside of Witherspoon, with their interest in free agents Terrion Arnold and Trevon Diggs.
Seattle Seahawks’ interest in risky free agent corners is a bad sign for Seattle’s secondary
The Seahawks recently worked out cornerback Terrion Arnold, who was cut by the Detroit Lions, and are reportedly planning to sign him. However, it may be a while before anything becomes official because Arnold will be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list upon signing due to an ongoing legal situation.
While Seattle gets that sorted out, the team had a workout for another free agent corner, Trevon Diggs. The 2021 All-Pro corner was a star with the Dallas Cowboys, but his career took a turn as he struggled with injuries and declining play in recent years. Now, he’s a free agent after being released by the Cowboys and Green Bay Packers last season.
It’s fair to say that both veteran corners are risky players for teams to take an interest in — Arnold because of his legal situation and Diggs because of his lackluster play in recent years. The Seahawks are aware of both players’ circumstances, but are still expressing interest in them. That should tell fans everything they need to know about the state of Seattle’s cornerback room.
Things clearly aren’t looking good in the Seahawks secondary, and that’s why they appear desperate on the free agent market. These gambles could pay off or be disastrous; only time will tell. What’s clear now is that Seattle isn’t happy with how it’s cornerbacks are looking in training camp.
