Rashid Shaheed's Free Agency: Seahawks' Loss, Other Teams' Gain

0:00On March 5th, Rashid Shaheed might not stick around long with the Seattle Seahawks. The wide receiver and the team are far apart on a contract extension, and sources say he will likely hit free agency when it starts on Monday. He turns 28 right before week 1. Seattle picked him up in a trade from the Saints, giving up 4th and 5th round draft picks in 2026. Shaheed quickly became a key player behind top receiver Jackson Smith and Jigba for the Super Bowl winning squad. In nine regular season games, he grabbed 15 passes for 188 yards, but shown brightest on special teams returns. Fans and analysts see this as another blow to Seattle's offense. The team passed on tagging running back Kenneth Walker III, the Super Bowl MVP, so he heads to free agency too. Zack Sharbinay's future looks shaky after his ACL tear in the divisional round playoffs. Shaheed enters a busy wide receiver market with names like Alec Pierce, Juan Jennings, Romeo Dubs, and even Stefan Diggs, who Jessica released.
