Shaquem Griffin News
Former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Shaquem Griffin announced his retirement from professional football on Wednesday. Griffin had his left hand amputated at age 4 because of amniotic-band syndrome and became the first player with one hand to be drafted in the NFL's modern era when Seattle took him in the fifth round in 2018. In three seasons with Seattle, the 27-year-old had 25 tackles (17 solo), six QB hits, one sack and a pass defensed in 46 games (one start). He signed with the Miami Dolphins last year but was released before the start of the regular season. Griffin wrote in his Players Tribune piece that "Football was always Plan B."
Miami Dolphins linebacker Shaquem Griffin was one of the more surprising cuts on Tuesday. He was added to the team in July as linebacker depth. Griffin was mainly a special teams player in Seattle, but has decent upside. On Wednesday, he was brought back to the Dolphins on the practice squad. At least now, Miami can bring Griffin to the active roster if an injury happens or someone is underperforming. Griffin is by no means a superstar, but certainly worth a roster spot. He could be a decent part-time linebacker for the Dolphins.
Ex-Seattle Seahawks linebacker Shaquem Griffin has drawn interest from multiple teams and should find a home soon, according to sources informed of the situation. The fifth-rounder in 2018 appeared in 46 games for the Seahawks, recording one sack, six QB hits and 25 tackles. Griffin's twin brother, Shaquill Griffin, signed a big deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars this offseason. The twins played together at UCF and in Seattle, so Griffin may be looking to join his brother in Jacksonville. His new club could be looking at him as a full-time pass-rusher after he played off the ball in Seattle. The 25-year-old became the odd-man out in Seattle after the team added Jordyn Brooks, Cody Barton and Ben Burr-Kirven to the position in recent seasons.
