The Seattle Seahawks agreed to terms on a three-year, $51-million contract to bring back wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, his agents told Adam Schefter. Shaheed’s new contract will include $34.7 million guaranteed.
Seattle gave up fourth- and fifth-round picks last season in November to acquire the dynamic wideout returner from the New Orleans Saints.
When he was brought in, Shaheed provided an immediate impact to Seattle’s stellar special teams unit and also helped out the receiving room. His top-end speed was an amazing complement to the skill sets of both Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. Shaheed averaged 12.5 yards per catch in nine games with Seattle.
After originally going undrafted, Rashid Shaheed signed with the Saints in 2022. He was named a first-team All-Pro in 2023 as a returner after racking up 723 kick and punt return yards.
Seattle keeps one of their own, and that seems to be the theme this offseason. The Seahawks have kept a big portion of their team from last season as they are looking to be back to back Super Bowl Champs. There are a couple bigger names like Kenneth Walker, Coby Bryant, and Boye Mafe who have reportedly signed with new teams. However, Seattle is bringing back majority of the roster, and got a couple of new guys they like to fill those spots.
