Leaving Lumen Field, Seahawks' Pro Bowl "Cornerstone" Shocks NFL by Publicly Declaring Burning Desire to Join Chiefs – Ready to Do Whatever It Takes to Bring Kansas City Back to Super Bowl Glory

Kansas City – December 12, 2025

Leaving Seattle in silence, Shaquill Griffin suddenly “put the word out” to the Chiefs and rocked the NFL by publicly expressing his burning desire to join the Kansas City Chiefs. Not to find a safe landing spot at the end of his career, Griffin emphasized that his only goal is to do everything possible to bring Kansas City back to Super Bowl glory, adding composure and experience to a roster that always lives inside the championship window.

Entering free agency with nearly a decade of battles, Griffin has locked down many of the league’s top 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. The next destination, according to Griffin, must be a place where winning standards are placed above everything, where every small detail is aimed at January.

The message Griffin sent immediately sent the NFL community into a frenzy. “Kansas City has been the standard of the league for years,” Griffin shared. “The way they prepare, the way they play, and the way they maintain high standards every week shows this is a place where experience has real value. If I get the chance to wear Chiefs red, I’m ready to bring everything I have to help this team get closer to the Super Bowl.” Just a few sentences were enough to send Chiefs Kingdom into a frenzy.

For the Chiefs, this moment demands stability, discipline, 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 championship contenders always treasure: playoff poise. “I’m not looking for the spotlight,” he added. “I’m looking for games that matter, where every single play decides the fate of an entire season.”

Kansas City has not confirmed any official moves yet, but a former Pro Bowler publicly “putting the word out” is already enough to heat up Arrowhead. In an NFL that often favors youth, Shaquill Griffin is betting everything on experience, culture, and winning DNA. And if the door in Kansas City opens, the Chiefs may be welcoming a piece who knows the exact path to the Lombardi Trophy.
