The Seattle Seahawks are still reshaping their secondary, and the latest move adds another big name to the mix. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Seattle is signing two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs to a one-year deal.
Diggs arrives as a 27-year-old with plenty left to prove, and he’ll turn 28 during the 2026 season. His career has already included 20 interceptions and 63 passes defensed, the kind of production that explains why the Seahawks are willing to give him a shot.
Seattle had Diggs in for a visit on Tuesday, and the timing lines up with the team’s continued pursuit of Terrion Arnold. The Arnold situation has only grown more complicated, but the Seahawks are still working to acquire him despite his recent legal troubles.
If Seattle does sign Arnold, he would immediately be placed on the NFL’s commissioner's exempt list. The expectation remains that Arnold will eventually end up with the Seahawks, though both sides still need to sort out the timing with that list looming.
Even with all of that in motion, Diggs has a real chance to carve out a role. He should be in the mix for a starting job in a Seattle secondary that needs bodies and competition as training camp winds on.
Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe are projected to start on the boundary for Seattle in 2026, while Nick Emmanwori, Noah Igbinoghene, Julian Love, and Ty Okada are all expected to see significant snaps in Mike Macdonald’s defense. That still leaves room for Diggs to push for regular playing time, but nothing will be handed to him.
For Seattle, the next test comes in the preseason against Tennessee. The Seahawks and Titans will kick off at 8PM ET on August 23rd from Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

Trevon Diggs Gives Seahawks A Needed Answer With One Big Catch
The Seahawks added some much-needed cornerback depth during training camp by signing Trevon Diggs, a move that immediately makes sense on a roster that had been looking for help at the position after Riq Woolen left in free agency. Diggs also arrives with some built-in familiarity, since he has prior connections with several Seahawks players and coaches, which should help him settle in quickly as camp competition picks up.
Even with that background, the real question is how much he can give Seattle right away. Diggs has spent the past stretch trying to reestablish himself, and the Seahawks are clearly betting that a fresh start and those existing relationships can help him become more than just a camp addition. For a defense trying to shore up its cornerback room, the signing is a worthwhile swing, but the bigger answer still depends on how the rest of his comeback unfolds. [Read more 🡒]
Seahawks Just Took On A Controversial Gamble With Terrion Arnold
The Seahawks made a head-turning addition at cornerback, reaching an agreement with free agent Terrion Arnold in a move that surfaced during a recent episode of HBOs Hard Knocks. Seattle is treating it as a developmental swing for the long term, with no immediate on-field expectations, but the signing still lands as one of the more unusual roster bets of the offseason for a team trying to balance future upside with present-day depth.
Arnolds situation is what gives the move its uneasy edge, and why the details around his status matter so much to Seattle. His legal case is still unfolding, which means the Seahawks are taking on a player whose availability remains uncertain while the organization waits for the next step in a process that could keep this gamble in limbo for some time.

Seahawks Still Searching For Answers At Fullback After Brutal Injury
The Seahawks are still piecing together their fullback room after Robbie Ouzts went down with a season-ending injury, and the search has already led them to Jackson Acker. Seattle is working out Acker, who was recently released by the Bills, as the team keeps sorting through options at a position that has suddenly become a moving target. The group also includes Brock Lampe, Brady Russell and a few tight ends who can help bridge the gap while the staff looks for the right fit.
Lampe has already gotten some game action in the preseason, but the competition is far from settled and the Seahawks do not appear ready to hand the job to anyone just yet. With Ouzts unavailable, every candidate is being judged on how well he can handle the blocking, versatility and physical edge Seattle wants from the spot, which makes this one of those late-summer battles that could linger a while longer.
