Seahawks Land Rashid Shaheed From Saints for 2026 Draft Picks

The move reunites the All-Pro returner with OC Klint Kubiak for an immediate deep‑threat boost despite his expiring contract.

Overview

  • Seattle sent 2026 fourth- and fifth-round picks to New Orleans to complete the deadline deal, per multiple reports.
  • Shaheed has 44 receptions for 499 yards and two touchdowns through nine games this season and adds proven punt-return value.
  • He practiced with the Seahawks on Nov. 5 and is expected to be deployed quickly as a vertical option and on special teams.
  • Local reporting indicates Seattle will cover roughly half of Shaheed’s $4.2 million 2025 salary for the remainder of the year.
  • On an expiring deal with no new contract in place, Shaheed called Seattle his “long-term home,” while the 6-2 Seahawks add depth and the 1-8 Saints add future picks.
