Rashid Shaheed

No. 22 · 5th season

Shaheed arrived mid-season and the Seahawks haven't stopped talking about him since

Sometimes a trade happens and the room just changes. That's the short version of what Rashid Shaheed did for Seattle.

Shaheed came over from New Orleans mid-season — a receiver the Seahawks decided they needed badly enough to move on while games already counted. Seattle went on a Super Bowl run, and his addition was part of the fuel.

That's not nothing. Mid-season trades are a gamble. The player has to learn a new system, new teammates, new city, all while the losses and wins are stacking up in real time. Shaheed made it work.

Head coach Mike Macdonald is already looking ahead to 2026, publicly excited about what Shaheed can become in a full season with this team. That's the part worth watching. What he did in a partial season helped push Seattle to the biggest stage. A full year? That's a different conversation entirely.
