The Seattle Seahawks faced some tough choices with free agents this offseason, especially with why receiver and return specialist Rashid Shaheed. Reports say the team is not close to a new deal, so he will likely hit the open market. Shaheed wants a contract worth up to $18 million a year. Earlier this week, insiders like Adam Schefter and Brady Henderson noted the big gap in talks. Shaheed shone last season during Seattle's run to Super Bowl 60 victory. His huge plays, like a 58 yard punt return touched down against the Rams, and a 95 yard kickoff return to start the playoffs, spart, key wins. Fans and analysts see him as a game changer on special teams and as a gadget receiver. That week 16 come back over the Rams, shifted the whole playoff picture. His explosive returns and catches set up big moments, helping the Seahawks dominate.

Paying that much for a specialist role is a hard sell with the salary cap tight. As Shaheed leaves, he ends with 266 receiving yards, 628 return yards, and two return scores in Seattle. He played a big part in bringing home that second Lombardi Trophy, but his time in the Emerald City might be over. The Daily News Now is grateful to our sponsor for today's episode. Some chase piece.
