Seahawks' Shaheed Deal: Gamble or Smart Move?

Seahawks Sign Rashid Shaheed: A Risky Move?

The Seattle Seahawks have signed wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to a three-year, fifty-one million dollar deal, but the move has left fans and analysts questioning the teams decision. Shaheed, who was traded from the Saints mid-season, only caught fifteen of twenty-six targets for one hundred eighty-eight yards and no touchdowns on offense. However, he shone on special teams, returning thirteen punts for two hundred ten yards and a score, plus fourteen kickoffs for four hundred eighteen yards and another touchdown. The Raiders were also interested in Shaheed, so the Seahawks had to pay extra to keep him. With Cooper Kupp slowing down and a new play-caller in Brian Fleury, Shaheed might step up big next to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but that could cut his special teams snaps and pile on the pressure to produce. The Seahawks GM, John Schneider, is usually sharp with cash, but this move could be a slip for him.
