RENTON, Wash. (AP) 鈥� The Seattle Seahawks signed cornerback Trevon Diggs on Wednesday.

Diggs is a two-time Pro Bowler coming off a season in which he was and . In joining the Super Bowl champions, the 27-year-old hopes to more closely resemble the player who had an NFL-leading 11 interceptions and earned honors in 2021.
鈥淚鈥檓 looking to show that I鈥檓 still the best,鈥� Diggs said. 鈥淚鈥檓 looking to show that I just want to win and be there for my teammates and be a great teammate and be a great player.鈥�
The Seahawks brought in Diggs less than a week after the team , whose status for the 2026 season is uncertain.
Arnold is stemming from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men in February. He became a free agent in June, when the a few days after the kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy charges were levied.
Arnold will be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list when he signs. He will not be permitted to play or practice while the league investigates his case but can be paid and attend team meetings.
Wide receiver Julian Hicks was waived to make room for Diggs on the 90-man roster.
Diggs should add depth to and has been without , during training camp.
In 2025, Diggs played six games for Dallas before in an accident at home on Oct. 16. He didn鈥檛 explain the cause of the injury to reporters until two months later, when he said he got hit in the head when he was mounting a pole while trying to install a TV.
鈥淚t was tough, but just keeping good people around you (helps),鈥� Diggs said of his recovery. 鈥淢y family is a great support system for me, keeping my mental straight. Just keep going.鈥�
Even after Diggs cleared the concussion protocol, he remained off the field with what the Cowboys described as lingering knee issues. Diggs then returned for two games before getting waived in late December.
He joined the Packers just before their final regular-season game. He played of Green Bay鈥檚 defensive snaps in his Packers debut as the team rested its starters in a at Minnesota. But he was on the field for only one snap when the at Chicago in an NFC wild-card playoff game.
Diggs made the Pro Bowl in 2021 and 2022 but his performance has declined since, in part because of two major knee surgeries. He declared himself healthy on Wednesday.
鈥淚t鈥檚 my first offseason that I鈥檝e been able to just not rehab and actually do offseason training,鈥� Diggs said. 鈥淪o, a lot of trainers put the work in, helped me put the work in to get to where I鈥檓 at today.鈥�
Diggs has played in 71 NFL games, including playoffs, since the Cowboys took him with the 51st pick in the 2020 draft out of Alabama.
The Seahawks fielded arguably the NFL鈥檚 best defense last season. No team allowed fewer points per game (17.2), and Seattle finished in the top seven in the league in sacks and interceptions.
Diggs has been teammates previously with Seattle cornerback Josh Jobe and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence.
鈥淚t was just finding somewhere that felt like home,鈥� Diggs said. 鈥淔inding somewhere that I鈥檒l have the opportunity to compete, have the opportunity to play. It felt right.鈥�
