Seahawks Re-sign Rashid Shaheed to $51M Deal

0:00It's March 25th, welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI, I'm Corey, with the story. The Seattle Seahawks have resigned wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to a 3-year deal worth $51 million. They traded for him from the New Orleans Saints back in November, and he quickly became a key contributor on offense and special teams down the die, stretch of the season. In his 9 regular season gains with Seattle, Shaheed had 22 touches, averaging just over 2 per game. He kept a similar pace in the playoffs with 7 touches, including explosive plays like a big run and putt return that helped spark a win over the Rams in Week 16. ESPN insider Ben Solak highlighted Shaheed's lighting and a bottle potential, noting how those rare big moments can swing games with the Seahawks. Fans and analysts see his average salary of $17 million per year as a bet on more frequent involvement, not just gadget plays. With the offseason ahead, Shaheed can build chemistry during

1:00training camp under new offensive coordinator Brian Flurry. This reset from last year's scheme should open up more chances for him in the passing game on the ground and returning kicks. That versatility positions the Seahawks to get real value from the contract, setting up Shaheed for a breakout role as they push for a strong season.
