Bellingham, WALocal News

The Seattle Seahawks enhanced their offense by trading for wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints, exchanging fourth and sixth round picks in the 2026 draft. Shaheed, who has recorded 44 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns this season, reunites with offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who coached him last year in New Orleans. His addition not only strengthens the receiving group but also provides a reliable punt and kickoff return option as a former All-Pro kick returner. The Seahawks are preparing to face the Arizona Cardinals, who recently achieved a notable 27-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. In that game, Jacoby Brissett threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns and will start against Seattle while Kyler Murray continues his recovery from a foot injury.

This upcoming matchup is pivotal for both teams as they aim to solidify their positions within the competitive NFC West. The Seahawks hope to capitalize on Shaheed's skills to gain momentum as the season progresses. The trade reflects Seattle's commitment to enhancing their playoff prospects amid a challenging season.
