The Seattle Seahawks made some nifty draft picks at the end of April, but a cornerback was not one of them.
Looking to bolster both the depth chart at minimum, Seattle is back in conversation with a former draft pick of their own, Shaquill Griffin.
The two sides had been in discussion before the draft, and now that the Seahawks have emerged without another CB, Griffin is a strong candidate to make a deal before camp breaks.
#Seahawks are in discussions with free-agent corner Shaquill Griffin on a potential reunion, sources told @BradyHenderson and me.

Griffin played his most successful football by far in Seattle, before getting a bigger payday with the Jacksonville Jaguars where things never went as well as the price tag.
Not a big interception guy at all, Griffin played all 17 games for the Minnesota Vikings last season and recorded two INT, despite being listed as a starter in only three games. His passer rating allowed was terrible in Jacksonville, but post-Jacksonville he has actually been better than all of his Seattle years in the past two seasons.
The top of the Seahawks’ cornerback room consists of Devon Witherspoon, Riq Woolen, and Josh Jobe. Nehemiah Pritchett and Shemar Jean-Charles are among the reserves looking to stay on the roster if not get on the field during the regular season.
