Rashid Shaheed Feels Right at Home with Seahawks and a 3-Year, $51 Million Deal in Hand
Shaheed says a full offseason has boosted his confidence as he learns Brian Fleury’s offense and works to sharpen timing with Darnold.
On Saturday, July 25, 2026, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed began training camp in Renton, Wash., aiming to build chemistry with quarterback Sam Darnold during his first full season.
After helping the Seahawks secure a Super Bowl championship following his midseason 2025 arrival, Shaheed signed a $51 million, three-year contract this offseason to remain in Seattle.
The San Diego native trained with Darnold at Saddleback College in Orange County throughout the offseason. Shaheed said working outside the facility "helps a ton" for building timing and chemistry.
Coach Mike Macdonald noted the duo has "picked up right where they left off," while All-Pro wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba expressed excitement about Shaheed's return to camp.
With first-year offensive coordinator Brian Fleury now calling plays, analysts project the wideout as a breakout candidate capable of effectively filling the Seahawks' WR2 role this season.
