Overview
- Shaheed arrives with 44 receptions for 499 yards and two touchdowns through nine games this season, along with recent All-Pro punt-return credentials.
- The addition boosts a 6-2 Seahawks offense and provides a vertical complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, plus immediate special-teams value.
- Familiarity with Klint Kubiak from their 2024 stint in New Orleans should shorten Shaheed’s acclimation to Seattle’s scheme.
- No extension was reported with the trade, leaving Shaheed set to hit free agency after the 2025 season and positioning the move as a likely rental.
- The 1-8 Saints convert a pending free agent into 2026 fourth- and fifth-round picks as they lean into a rebuild after earlier seeking a higher return.
