"It was a huge blessing. You take away the football player, he's a really cool human. He came in, players welcomed him right away, he fit in great. It was fun being able to talk to him about the Desmond Howard stuff when we were with the Packers, how that changed our season when we won a world championship with Coach Mike Holmgren."
"After arriving in a Nov. 4 trade with the New Orleans Saints, the pending free agent scored three return touchdowns and pitched in on offense with enough timely plays to help the Seahawks claim their second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history."
"ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting Wednesday that Shaheed is not close to a new deal with the Seahawks and that he's expected to test the market when the free agency negotiating window opens Monday."
The Seahawks acquired wide receiver and return specialist Rashid Shaheed in a November trade with the New Orleans Saints. Shaheed scored three return touchdowns and made timely offensive contributions that proved crucial to Seattle's Super Bowl championship victory. General manager John Schneider drew parallels to Desmond Howard, a former Packers acquisition who scored five special teams touchdowns and won Super Bowl XXXI MVP honors in 1996. However, Shaheed's tenure appears headed toward a different outcome than Howard's, as reports indicate the pending free agent is not close to a contract extension with Seattle and is expected to explore the open market when free agency negotiations begin.
