The Seattle Seahawks officially reunited with veteran cornerback Shaquill Griffin earlier this week, signing him to a one-year contract. One Seahawks legend was particularly happy to see it come to fruition after months of negotiation. Quandre Diggs took to social media to publicize his reaction, claiming he was thrilled to see Griffin “go home.”
The Seahawks selected Griffin during the third round of the 2017 NFL draft. He played out his entire four-year rookie contract in Seattle. Griffin peaked in 2019, earning a Pro Bowl nod that season. After leaving Seattle, he’s since played for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans, and Minnesota Vikings.
Diggs played for the Seahawks from 2019 to 2023, sharing two campaigns (2019-20) with Griffin. Diggs was outstanding for the Seahawks, totaling 324 tackles and 15 interceptions in four seasons. John Schneider released him from a bloated contract last offseason, and he signed a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans.
Diggs was playing quality football for the Titans before suffering a season-ending foot injury. The 32-year-old safety technically hasn’t retired and could consider playing another season if the correct opportunity arises. Diggs would probably love to reunite with Griffin in Seattle, but the Seahawks are currently deep at safety.
