Rashid Shaheed Signals Desire to Re-Sign With Seahawks as Free Agency Nears

He says talks will ramp up in March, with outside interest and Seattle’s cap priorities shaping the outcome.

Overview

  • Shaheed told NFL Network he would "love" to return to Seattle and wants to "run it back" after the Super Bowl LX title.
  • He will be an unrestricted free agent in March and said negotiations are expected to heat up then.
  • After a midseason trade from New Orleans, he delivered three return touchdowns for Seattle, including the playoff-opening kickoff vs. San Francisco.
  • In nine regular-season games with the Seahawks he logged 15 receptions for 188 yards and seven rushes for 64, taking a smaller offensive role than with the Saints.
  • Multiple outlets expect suitor interest, with Spotrac projecting roughly $14.1 million per year as Seattle weighs other free agents such as Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III and key defensive backs.
