Shaheed is one among six notable pending free brokers for the Super Bowl champion Seahawks. The NFL’s free agent negotiating window begins at 9 am Monday, with the official signing interval starting at 1 pm Wednesday.
Projections from varied websites undertaking Shaheed’s worth on the free agent market to be roughly $13-14 million per year.
The Seahawks acquired the 27-year-old Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints on the Nov. 4 commerce deadline in alternate for a 2026 fourth-round draft decide and a 2026 fifth-round decide.
Shaheed was a game-changer for Seattle on particular groups, scoring on two punt return touchdowns and a kick return landing. Shaheed had a 58-yard punt return TD that sparked the Seahawks’ dramatic Week 16 comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams, and a game-opening 95-yard kick return TD that ignited an NFC Divisional Round rout of the San Francisco 49ers.
Shaheed did not put up large stats as a receiver, totaling simply 18 catches for 266 yards throughout 12 regular-season and postseason video games with Seattle. However, he caught a 51-yard go that keyed a game-opening TD drive within the Seahawks’ NFC title sport victory over the Rams. And as a field-stretching vertical risk, he contributed to Seattle’s speeding assault dealing with lighter bins down the stretch.
