Seahawks' Shaheed: High Risk, High Reward in Free Agency

0:00Welcome to NFL News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to NFL fans, hit subscribe and stay connected. The Seattle Seahawks are getting ready for wide receiver, Rashid Shaheed to hit free agency this off season. He's one of the top receivers available on the market thanks to his explosive plays and elite return skills. The team traded for him from the New Orleans Saints at the 2025 trade deadline. Shaheed became a key spark during their Super Bowl run. Shining especially on special teams with top grades and kick-and-punt returns, plus three. Touchdowns there. Analysts like those at Pro Football Focus see his value clearly, but they're split on his receiving upside. A new contract could top $13 million per year, which feels steep for someone without a season, over 800 receiving yards. His stats back up the concerns. In Seattle, he posted a receiving grade of just 62.0 across 12 games with only 15 catches. More numbers since his rookie year in 2022 sit at 71.0, not elite level.
