Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed 'here to stay' after trade from Saints
The Seahawks added Rashid Shaheed, a first-team All-Pro returner with 499 receiving yards this season, to enhance their offense and special teams ahead of the Super Bowl push.
- A couple of hours before Tuesday's deadline, Seattle dealt fourth- and fifth-round draft picks to the New Orleans Saints for Rashid Shaheed, who is in the final year of his contract.
- Facing injury setbacks, the Seahawks lacked an elite deep speedster since DK Metcalf's departure and saw increased urgency after Cooper Kupp, Jake Bobo, and Dareke Young missed last Sunday's game.
- On tape and in metrics, Rashid Shaheed ranks third in air yards per target , has six career touchdowns of at least 50 yards, 499 receiving yards in nine games, and was a first-team All-Pro punt returner .
- Under team policy, Seattle will wait until the season end contract window to negotiate Rashid Shaheed's extension despite coach Mike Macdonald saying, `This guy can really help us`.
- With Shaheed added, the Seattle Seahawks raise the offense's ceiling and Super Bowl aspirations as their defense allows 18.8 points per game and Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the NFL with 948 receiving yards.
