The Jacksonville Jaguars signed Seattle Seahawks cornerback Shaquill Griffin to a three-year, $44.5 million deal on Tuesday. Griffin’s deal will reportedly include $29 million in guaranteed money. Griffin has been with Seattle for the last four seasons after being selected in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He earned his first career Pro Bowl selection in 2019, and racked up a career-high three interceptions in 2020. Seattle finished No. 15 in points allowed last season.
The Jaguars are in the midst of a lengthy rebuild as 2021 approaches. They hired former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer in January, and they are expected to select Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence with the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Jacksonville has also reached agreements with seven players as of Monday, including defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris and safety Rayshawn Jenkins. Running back Carlos Hyde will also join the Jaguars in 2021 on a two-year, $6 million deal.
