NFL free agency negotiations began on March 10, 2025, and more than three months later the Seattle Seahawks made a move for a former Pro Bowl. Seattle is reuniting with a familiar face in what will likely be a unanimously approved move among the 12s.
The Seahawks signed veteran cornerback Shaquill Griffin to a one-year deal, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Seattle landed the team’s longtime starting corner with less than a month to go before training camp kicks off.
“Sources: Former Pro Bowl CB Shaquill Griffin is signing with the Seahawks,” Schultz said in a series of X messages on June 25. “Griffin had 2 INTs and 6 PBUs for the Vikings last season. Shaquill Griffin began his career with the Seahawks after being drafted in the 3rd round, playing four seasons with the team and making a Pro Bowl. Now he is back and returning to Seattle.”
Here is what you need to know about the Seahawks’ latest move.
Shaquill Griffin Made the Pro Bowl With the Seahawks in 2019
Seattle selected Griffin in the third round of the 2017 NFL draft following a standout college career at UCF. Griffin spent his first four NFL seasons with the Seahawks making 53 starts during his tenure.
The corner made his lone Pro Bowl with Seattle in 2019. Griffin’s time with the Seahawks came to an end in 2021 when the defender signed a lucrative three-year, $40 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Since Griffin’s time with the Jaguars came to an end in 2022, the corner has been a bit of a journeyman. Griffin had short stints with the Houston Texans and Carolina Panthers in 2023. Most recently, Griffin played in all 17 games for the Minnesota Vikings last season.
