Seahawks sign former Pro Bowl CB Shaquill Griffin on one-year deal

The Seattle Seahawks have signed veteran cornerback Shaquill Griffin to a one-year deal worth up to $4 million, marking his return to the team where he began his career from 2017 to 2020. Griffin, a 2019 Pro Bowler, spent the last five seasons with multiple teams including the Jaguars, Texans, Panthers, and most recently the Vikings, where he had a productive season with two interceptions and 41 tackles. His return addresses the Seahawks' need for experienced depth at cornerback alongside young talents Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen, while also providing competition for the third cornerback spot currently held by Josh Jobe. Seattle’s defensive backfield now combines Griffin’s veteran presence with a promising young group, aiming to strengthen their defense in a competitive NFC West. The Seahawks’ offense will see changes with Sam Darnold at quarterback following the departures of D.K. Metcalf and Geno Smith. Overall, Griffin’s reunion with Seattle is viewed as a strategic move to bolster the team's playoff aspirations in 2025.
