Seahawks to re-sign Rashid Shaheed to three-year, $51M deal

"Acquired in a midseason trade with the New Orleans Saints, the speedy Shaheed became a significant piece of the Seahawks' Super Bowl run -- mostly for what he did in the return game. Shaheed, 27, scored three touchdowns on special teams, including a 58-yard punt return that ignited Seattle's rally from a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16."

"Shaheed has been one of the NFL's top deep threats since entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of Weber State in 2022. In three and a half seasons with New Orleans, he had six offensive touchdowns of at least 50 yards, and all but two of his 12 career scores were from at least 30 yards out."

"In 12 regular-season and playoff games with the Seahawks, Shaheed caught 18 passes for 266 yards and no touchdowns. He added 86 rushing yards on 11 attempts. The Seahawks gave up fourth- and fifth-round picks in this year's draft for Shaheed, which left them with only four selections."

The Seattle Seahawks re-signed wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to a three-year, $51 million deal featuring $34.7 million guaranteed. Acquired mid-season from the New Orleans Saints, Shaheed became crucial to Seattle's Super Bowl championship run, primarily through special teams performance. He scored three special teams touchdowns, including a 58-yard punt return that sparked a comeback against the Rams and a 95-yard kickoff return touchdown in the divisional round against the 49ers. However, Shaheed's offensive production in Seattle was limited, catching 18 passes for 266 yards across 12 games. The Seahawks traded fourth and fifth-round draft picks to acquire him, leaving them with only four selections this year.
