Seahawks bringing back CB Shaquill Griffin
Cornerback Shaquill Griffin is signing with the Seattle Seahawks, where he started his NFL career and had his lone Pro Bowl season, multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday.
Griffin, a Pro Bowl pick in 2019, is signing a one-year, $3 million contract that can increase in value up to $4 million, per the reports.
The 29-year-old played in all 17 regular-season games last season for the Minnesota Vikings, making three starts and recording 41 tackles with two interceptions and six passes defended.
The Seahawks selected Griffin in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Central Florida.
Griffin has 407 career tackles with 13 tackles for loss, one sack, nine interceptions and one forced fumble in 106 games (82 starts) for the Seahawks (2017-20), Jacksonville Jaguars (2021-23), Houston Texans (2023), Carolina Panthers (2023) and Vikings (2024).
He played in 57 games (53 starts) in four seasons with the Seahawks before signing as a free agent with the Jaguars on a three-year, $40 million contract. He played in only 19 games in two seasons with Jacksonville, as a back injury sidelined him for the last 11 games of the 2022 season, and he was released in March 2023.
