Raiders Eyeing Shaheed: Seahawks WR's Future Uncertain

0:00On March 8, Rashid Shaheed, the wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, might hit free agency and leave the team soon. Reports from ESPN say the Las Vegas Raiders are very interested in signing him. Agents estimate his market value could average around $18 million per year, while data sites peg it closer to $14 million annually. This buzz picked up after the Raiders hired Clint Kubiak as their new head coach. Kubiak was Seattle's offensive coordinator before, so he knows Shaheed well from working together. League insiders like ESPN's Jeremy Fowler have added to the talk. Fowler says the Raiders plan to chase Shaheed, but it depends on how the wide receiver market shakes out in the final price. He mentioned back in early March that Las Vegas has been eyeing the player. The Raiders have lots of salary cap room and a big need at wide receiver, which could lead to a strong offer. Shaheed stepped up big for Seattle after joining at the trade deadline, making key plays on offense and special teams in the playoffs. While Shaheed is set for a huge contract somewhere, it's still anyone's guess if he'll stay in Seattle or head to Vegas or elsewhere.
