Shaquill Griffin could be returning to where it all started. According to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, the veteran defensive back visited the Seahawks on Monday.
It’s been quiet on the Griffin front, with Monday's news representing his first reported visit of the offseason. In a free-agent CB class that still features a handful of notable names (including Rasul Douglas, Asante Samuel Jr., and Mike Hilton), it’s notable that Griffin is starting to make some noise.
The former Seahawks draft pick has bounced around the NFL a bit since leaving Seattle after the 2020 season. He got a multi-year deal from the Jaguars but only lasted two campaigns in Jacksonville, and he later got into games with three teams between 2023 and 2024 (Texans, Panthers, Vikings).
He did manage to get into all 17 games for the Vikings in 2024, collecting 41 tackles and a pair of interceptions while appearing in about half of his team’s defensive snaps. While Griffin will soon hit his age-30 season, he showed that he can still be a useful depth piece. The Seahawks are set to return their same CB starters next season (Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, and Devon Witherspoon), but he could compete with the likes of Nehemiah Pritchett for any leftover snaps.
