Veteran cornerback Shaquill Griffin is returning to Seattle after agreeing to terms of a new contract with the Seahawks on Wednesday. Per his agency, Griffin is signing a one-year, $3 million deal worth up to $4 million.
Griffin was drafted by the Seahawks in the third round in 2017 out of UCF and made a Pro Bowl appearance in 2019. He left in free agency in 2020 and signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he only played in 19 games over two seasons after suffering a back injury.

He then played stints with the Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers and, most recently, the Minnesota Vikings. Last season, Griffin made three starts while appearing in all 17 games. He recorded 41 total tackles and two interceptions, one of which sealed a Vikings win against the Arizona Cardinals in December.
Over his eight NFL seasons, Griffin has played in 106 games, defending 70 passes and intercepting nine.
Griffin, who will be 30 when the 2025 season starts, will add experience to Seattle’s group of young corners, including Josh Jobe, Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen.

Gerson e Arrascaeta, em jogo do Mundial (Gilvan de Souza/Flamengo) Rivellino não vê margem para o Flamengo, ao enfrentar o Bayern de Munique, adotar uma postura conservadora no Mundial. Ao contrário de Botafogo e Palmeiras, que já apostaram em uma tática de jogo reativo, o comentarista projeta o comportamento ao longo dos 90 minutos pautado na ofensividade. Neste cenário, existe uma grande expectativa pelo confronto com forte tendência de bastante emoção. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Embora o Flamengo não tenha escapado de uma pedreira, Rivellino lembrou que, em uma Copa do Mundo, não se pode escolher adversários.
