Versatile Griffin is on the fringes of the Stoke City side at present and is being linked with a move to Middlesbrough, where Gordon Strachan has just taken over as manager.
"I would be interested in going out loan, as long as it's commutable every day and I can see my two boys, my little girl, and my wife every day," the 30-year-old told BBC Radio Stoke.
"I've come to a point in my life when my family is more important than playing a little bit of football."
Davies is well aware of Griffon's capabilities, having signed him as Derby County manager after their promotion to the Premier League in 2007.
