Rashid Shaheed Returning to the Seahawks on a $51 Million, 3-Year Deal, AP Source Says
Shaheed's special-teams impact included three touchdowns and a 95-yard kickoff return in the playoffs, earning him $34.7 million guaranteed in the Seahawks’ three-year deal.
- On March 9, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks re-signed Rashid Shaheed, wide receiver and return specialist, to a three-year, $51 million deal with $34.7 million guaranteed, keeping him through 2028.
- A midseason trade helped bring Rashid Shaheed, whose special-teams touchdowns—including a 58-yard punt return—drove Seattle's playoff success, after being acquired from the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 4.
- With an AAV of $17 million, Rashid Shaheed now ranks as the 29th highest-paid wide receiver and will earn more than double last season's $4.2 million salary.
- Keeping Shaheed means preserving a key special-teams playmaker as several core players left Monday and he will slot as a second/third option alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp while Tory Horton returns.
- Despite reported interest from the Las Vegas Raiders and Buffalo Bills, an ESPN report last week said Rashid Shaheed and the Seahawks were 'not close', yet they reached agreement early on opening day.
