Quandre Diggs Pens Emotional Farewell To Seattle Seahawks
Five months after his release from the Seattle Seahawks, Quandre Diggs ended any chance for a delayed reunion on Sunday night when he signed a one-year deal worth up to $5 million with the Tennessee Titans.
Diggs, 31, first came to Seattle in a midseason trade with the Detroit Lions in 2019. In his four and a half seasons with the Seahawks, he became a fan favorite as he racked up 324 total tackles, 32 passes defended and 18 interceptions. He also earned three straight Pro Bowl selections from 2020-2022.
After being a cap casualty at the end of the 2023 season, the time came to say goodbye to Seattle, and Diggs made sure to leave a lasting impression.
“Have to thank God, my family, and the Seattle Seahawks organization,” Diggs wrote on Instagram. “These past 4 1/2 years have been some of the best years of my life. Played some of my best football, made lifelong friendships, learned how to win along the way, and most of all continued to add to my family.
“To the 12’s I just wanna say thank you for believing in me and letting me become a part of your family. To John and Pete thank you both for believing in me twice I know I’ve told you guys plenty of times but you really rescued me and showed me you can win and have fun playing the game. To all of my teammates, coaches, trainers, eq staff, media team, and etc I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me everyday be the best version of me.”
It won’t be long until the Seahawks see Diggs (and fellow safety Jamal Adams) again, as they travel to Nashville next week for joint practices ahead of a preseason matchup. Nonetheless, Diggs’ departure is an emotional one for all the 12s.

The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).
It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.
“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”
Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.
Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.
Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.
“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”
Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.
“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
