Shaheed Returns on Major Deal
Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed headlines the Seahawks' free agency class, returning to the team on a three-year contract worth $51 million. The deal includes $34.7 million guaranteed, securing Shaheed's presence in Seattle's offense for years to come. His return represents a significant commitment from the organization to maintain continuity at the position.
Building the 2026 Roster
Beyond Shaheed's signing, the Seahawks have re-signed a total of seven players as they shape their roster for the upcoming season. Additionally, the team addressed needs in the backfield by bringing in a replacement running back during the active free agency period.
