Leaving Lumen Field, Seahawks' Pro Bowl "Cornerstone" Shocks NFL by Publicly Declaring Burning Desire to Join 49ers – Ready to Do Whatever It Takes to Bring San Francisco Back to Super Bowl Glory
Santa Clara – December 12, 2025
Leaving Seattle in silence, Shaquill Griffin suddenly “put the word out” to the 49ers and rocked the NFL by publicly expressing his burning desire to join San Francisco. Not to find a safe landing spot, Griffin stated he is ready to do whatever it takes to bring the 49ers back to Super Bowl glory, bringing experience, discipline, and composure forged through the most grueling seasons.

Entering free agency with nearly a decade of battles, Griffin has faced the most elite wide receivers and served as the quiet leader of the Seahawks secondary during its peak years. After returning to Seattle and then leaving quietly, he knows exactly where he stands in his career. For Griffin, the next destination must be a place where winning standards are placed above everything – where every small detail is aimed at January.
The message Griffin sent immediately set the NFL community abuzz. “San Francisco is the model of disciplined, physical football,” Griffin shared. “The way they play, the way they prepare, and the way they maintain high standards every week shows the Super Bowl window is real. If I get the chance to wear 49ers red, I’m ready to bring all my experience to help this team take one more step.” Just a few sentences were enough to ignite expectations.
For the 49ers, this moment demands stability, depth, and ice-cold nerves in the biggest moments. Griffin is no longer a young cornerback who needs to prove his name, but he brings exactly what title contenders always treasure: playoff poise. “I’m not looking for the spotlight,” Griffin added. “I’m looking for games that matter – where every single play decides the fate of an entire season.”
San Francisco has not confirmed any official moves yet, but a former Pro Bowler publicly “putting the word out” is already enough to heat up Levi’s Stadium. In an NFL that often favors youth, Shaquill Griffin is betting everything on experience, culture, and championship hunger. And if the door in the Bay Area opens, the 49ers may be welcoming a piece who knows the exact path to the Lombardi Trophy.
