With Rory Kostjasyn’s career over due to a throat injury, the Knights are in the market for a hooker-lock to replace the former Cowboy.
The Knights will also be without Tyler Randall next season with the utility off to England.
It’s understood the Knights are one of two NRL clubs interested in the 26-year-old although off-contract Bulldog Michael Lichaa and Penrith rake Mitch Rein are the priority targets.
While the Storm are keen for him to stay, Griffin wants to establish himself as a regular first grader, which is difficult at the Storm with Cameron Smith and Brandon Smith ahead of him in the hooking stakes.
A product of the Storm’s NYC system, Griffin made his NRL debut in 2013
