Former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin could reunite with his original team this offseason… or he could reunite with his former head coach.
Griffin, who’s already met with the Seahawks, is scheduled to meet with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Free agent cornerback Shaquill Griffin is visiting the #Raiders, per source. Former Pro Bowler also visited Seattle earlier in offseason.

The obvious tie-in for Griffin and the Raiders is the presence of head coach Pete Carroll, who was Shaquill’s coach in Seattle from 2017 until 2020. If you’ve forgotten Griffin as a Pro Bowl corner, he was listed as an alternate for the 2019 season.
Griffin was most recently with the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year contract, recording two interceptions and playing a significant role in Minnesota having one of the top defenses in the NFL. After a short and mostly forgettable time with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Griffin has been on three teams over the past two seasons, but his Vikings stint was his best season post-Seahawks career. Griffin is still only 29 years old and could be quality depth for whichever team signs him.
The Seahawks have clearly been eying some cornerback help below established starters Riq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon. In addition to Griffin, the Seahawks also met with Rasul Douglas but that has not led to a contract.
Incidentally, inside linebacker is another position of some depth concern for the Seahawks. Former Cincinnati Bengals starter Germaine Pratt popped up on the free agent market after he was released earlier this week, but he’s since agreed to a one-year deal with the Raiders… the very team he intercepted near the goal line to end Cincinnati’s postseason win drought and eventually reach the Super Bowl.
