Seahawks top roster cut snubs ahead of 2020 season

Here is a look at the Seattle Seahawks’ top roster cut snubs ahead of the 2020 NFL season, including Shaquem Griffin and Paul Richardson.

No. 1 – Shaquem Griffin, linebacker 

This one is going to sting for a lot of people. In 2018 the Seahawks had the feel-good story of the draft when they selected linebacker Shaquem Griffin to reunite with his brother Shaquill on the team.

Shaquem Griffin’s journey to the NFL without a left hand served as an inspiration to many, especially to athletes with physical disabilities as well. Griffin’s speed helped bring some juice to an ailing Seahawks pass rush late last season, and it figured he would be more involved in such a role.

Unfortunately for Griffin, the Seahawks linebacking corps is one of Seattle’s deepest positions, and with first-round pick Jordyn Brooks in the mix, the writing was on the wall.

There will be more than a few 12’s who hope Griffin passes through waivers and returns on the practice squad. If not, at least his last game as a Seahawk was him recording his first sack with his brother in the postseason.
