The Minnesota Vikings had a good thing with cornerback Shaq Griffin.

A 2017 third-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks, Griffin surfaced for a Pro Bowl season back in 2019 and has been a reliable veteran despite not staying in Seattle.

Griffin signed a one-year, $4.55 million contract with the Vikings last season and appeared in every game for the team. He played over 500 snaps, earning a $250,000 performance bonus that was fitting for his contributions to the team.

However, after nearly a month of open free agency, the Vikings have not made a move to re-sign the veteran cornerback.

As it seems the Vikings have moved on, Griffin is also moving forward, taking a visit with his former Seahawks on Monday, April 7, according to Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz.

“One of the top free agents still available, Griffin appeared in 17 games for the #Vikings last season — totaling 41 tackles, 2 INTs and 6 pass deflections,” Schultz wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
