Saints' Trade Regret: Shaheed's Seahawks Success

0:00On April 25th, the 2026 NFL draft is underway, and while everybody's eyeing the fresh talent for the New Orleans Saints, let's flip the script to a player they shipped out last year. Rashid Shaheed got traded to the Seattle Seahawks in 2025, landing the Saints a fourth-round pick and a fifth-rounder in this draft. Those picks look solid at the time, but they turn sour fast because Shaheed lit it up for Seattle, helping them snag the Super Bowl. Now those selections sit at the end of their rounds, number 132 and 172 overall. Fans are salty about it, seeing how Shaheed balled out in nine games with the Saints, and nine more with the Seahawks that season. He hauled in 15 catches for 188 yards, rushed seven times for 64 yards, and returned 27 punts and kicks. For 628 yards with two scores. On top of that, he dropped a huge kickoff return touchdown in the playoffs, proving his value. Seattle locked him up with a resigning this off season, no surprise there.

1:03Saints' brass will make those late-round moves soon, but it's a reminder that trades can buy back hard in this league. Keep an eye on how they play out. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI.
