The Seattle Seahawks have reportedly reached a trade agreement with the New Orleans Saints.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, the Seahawks are acquiring wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the Saints. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Seahawks are sending the Saints 2026 fourth- and fifth-round picks.
"Trade! The Saints are sending WR Rashid Shaheed to the Seahawks, sources tell me and Ian Rapoport," Pelissero wrote.
Shaheed had been the center of trade rumors for quite some time now, so seeing him get moved isn't a surprise at all, especially when you consider the Saints are going nowhere and needed to get something for a player who was set to be a free agent in 2026.
The Seahawks did have a need at wide receiver.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has become an elite weapon, but Cooper Kupp is having a down season and the Seahawks were just a little too reliant on promising rookie Tory Horton, which left a shaky situation for a true contender like Seattle.
In Shaheed, the Seahawks get an explosive wide receiver who can make plays all over the field, and especially deep, which helps add yet another element to the Seahawks' offense.
Now, it'll be interesting to see if the Seahawks have anything else up their sleeve. Reports have suggested Seattle could be aggressive today, so we could see more.
