The Seattle Seahawks enter the lead-up to training camp with a major decision tied to wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, who is under a $51 million contract. Shaheed joined Seattle after a midseason trade from the New Orleans Saints and has yet to have a full season as a consistent featured receiver, though he has produced efficiency—averaging 14.8 yards per catch across four NFL seasons. With the Seahawks’ offense expected to emphasize speed and aggressive play-calling under offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, the team’s receiving hierarchy also figures to shape Shaheed’s workload. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is viewed as the clear No. 1 option, leaving Shaheed positioned as a potential secondary or third receiving target. Both outlets also point to Shaheed’s impact beyond traditional receiving, noting that he has already contributed in a meaningful way on special teams for Seattle. Together, the reporting frames Shaheed’s camp outlook as a central question of usage: whether he becomes a more regular part of the passing game in Seattle’s revamped offensive approach, or remains primarily a situational contributor.

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.
