MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins are signing former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Shaquem Griffin to a one-year deal after a successful team visit, sources told ESPN.
Griffin defied the odds playing three NFL seasons with an amputated left hand he's had since age four due to effects of a congenital condition called amniotic band syndrome with left him frequently in pain and with limited function. Now, he joins the Dolphins right before training camp in hopes of making the roster.
The signing doesn't guarantee Griffin being on the Dolphins 2021 final roster, but it does give him an opportunity to use his pass rush ability and special-teams acumen to compete for a depth role.
