Seahawks face a $51 million Rashid Shaheed dilemma that could reshape their receiving corps before training camp
Rashid Shaheed enters the 2026 season as one of the Seattle Seahawks' most intriguing offensive questions. Signed to a $51 million deal after a midseason trade from New Orleans, Shaheed has never had a full year to operate as a featured receiver despite averaging 14.8 yards per catch across four NFL seasons. With new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury prioritizing speed and aggression, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the clear No. 1, Shaheed could emerge as a game-changing third option.
