The Seattle Seahawks made a fun splash before the NFL trade deadline.
They pulled off a deal with the New Orleans Saints to acquire speedy wide receiver Rashid Shaheed.
The trade went down on Tuesday, and now the Seahawks are readying for their Week 10 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals in the late afternoon window on Sunday.
The Seahawks have gotten healthier at WR irrespective of Shaheed, but he's a key addition for QB Sam Darnold and company.

Is Rashid Shaheed playing today?
Yes, Shaheed is expected to be active and play for the Seahawks in Week 10.
It's not clear just how much of the playbook he'll know, but his game-breaking speed is enough to make a difference even if he isn't out there on every play.
Shaheed is pumped about the opportunity.
"It's going to be great," Shaheed told the Seahawks' official website. "I got a glimpse of how this team operates. Super explosive, super fun. I'm excited to play in front of the fans at home for my first game. Just pure excitement."
The speedster will have to figure out how he fits alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. His field stretching is a different role than those guys, so it could work out nicely.
