Saints Hold Out for Day‑2 Picks on Rashid Shaheed, Alontae Taylor Ahead of Deadline

Loomis' firm Day‑2 price has cooled suitors ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say New Orleans is seeking a second- or third-round pick for Rashid Shaheed, with the same Day‑2 valuation applied to cornerback Alontae Taylor.
  • Saints insider Nick Underhill reports an AFC team was told the price for Shaheed was a third-rounder, noting the ask could change closer to Tuesday.
  • Albert Breer reports teams have inquired but balked at the valuation, and no trade is considered imminent at this stage.
  • Insiders describe GM Mickey Loomis as difficult to deal with, and his hardline stance has been cited as discouraging potential buyers.
  • The Bills, Broncos and Steelers are flagged as logical suitors, but any bidder would inherit roughly $2 million of Shaheed’s 2025 salary for a pending free agent.
