Safety Quandre Diggs enjoyed a productive run with the Seahawks from 2019-23. After the Seahawks released Diggs in March 2024, he spent a season and a half in Tennessee. Now back on the market after the Titans waived him earlier this month, it appears Diggs will return to Seattle.
Diggs indicated on X that he is rejoining the Seahawks. The two sides are indeed working toward a practice squad deal, Brady Henderson of ESPN reports.
Diggs was a full-time starter in his first season with the Titans, but a Lisfranc injury limited him to eight games. He returned this year to start in four of nine games before the Titans released him at his request. The 32-year-old has picked up 30 tackles and one pass defensed this season. Pro Football Focus ranks his 2025 performance a respectable 39th among 93 qualifying safeties.
A sixth-round pick of the Lions in 2015, Diggs first landed in Seattle in an October 2019 trade. The Seahawks bought low on the defender, giving up a 2020 fifth-rounder for Diggs and a 2021 seventh.
General manager John Schneider made a shrewd move in acquiring Diggs, who wound up serving as a full-time starter during his initial stint with the team. Diggs made three Pro Bowls and intercepted 18 passes over 72 regular-season games.
Once he officially reunites with the Seahawks, Diggs will provide quality depth to one of the league’s best defenses. The Seahawks, off to an 8-3 start and in the running for an NFC West title, rank seventh in both yards per game and points per game allowed. However, the team is nicked up at safety, which explains why it’s circling back to Diggs.
Starter Julian Love, who hasn’t played since Week 4, went on IR with a hamstring injury on Nov. 1. Love has missed four games since then, but there’s no indication a return is imminent. Worsening matters, replacement Ty Okada is now an IR candidate after injuring his oblique in a win over Diggs’ previous team, the Titans, last week, according to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.
With Love and Okada down, Coby Bryant, D’Anthony Bell, and versatile rookie Nick Emmanwori are the only healthy safety options on the Seahawks’ roster. Diggs would join undrafted rookie Maxen Hook as practice squad choices.
