Seahawks' all-in philosophy put Shaquill Griffin, others on free-agent market

SEATTLE -- Trading two first-round picks for safety Jamal Adams wasn't the only win-now move the Seattle Seahawks made last offseason.

Not extending running back Chris Carson or cornerback Shaquill Griffin were two more.

Carson was coming off his second straight season with at least 1,100 yards rushing. Griffin had just made the Pro Bowl as an alternate. Both were three years into their NFL careers.

They are the type of young, productive players teams often lock up a year before they're scheduled to become free agents. But sources have told ESPN the Seahawks didn't attempt to do so with either last offseason, as the organization went all in for 2020.
