The Seattle Seahawks acquired speedy wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday in exchange for a fourth- and fifth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The trade is pending a physical.
Shaheed will join a Seattle passing attack that features third-year wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigma, who leads the NFL in receiving yards (948) and has 58 catches with four touchdowns.
Shaheed, undrafted in 2022 out of Weber State, will have a reunion with Klint Kubiak. Kubiak was the Saints’ offensive coordinator in 2024 before assuming the same post with Seattle.
Shaheed, 27, has recorded 44 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns in nine games this season. Those totals are second only to Chris Olave with New Orleans.
Speaking of Olave, he reached out to Smith-Njigma, his former teammate at Ohio State, over social media to express his thoughts on Shaheed, writing, “You got a great one bro.”
Shaheed has 138 receptions for 2,055 yards with 12 touchdowns in 42 career games (28 starts) with the Saints.
