Seahawks Land Saints WR Rashid Shaheed in Deadline Deal for 2026 Picks

The move reunites Shaheed with OC Klint Kubiak to supercharge Seattle’s downfield passing.

Overview

  • Seattle sends 2026 fourth- and fifth-round picks to New Orleans for the 27-year-old receiver, according to multiple reports.
  • Shaheed reunites with Klint Kubiak and adds a true vertical element to a passing game headlined by Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
  • Through nine games he has 44 receptions for 499 yards and two touchdowns this season.
  • A 2023 All-Pro and Pro Bowl punt returner, he also upgrades Seattle’s special teams immediately.
  • He is in the final year of his contract with no new deal reported, with Seattle taking on roughly half of his $4.2 million 2025 salary as the 1-8 Saints add draft capital for a rebuild.
