Seahawks Just Made Their First Big Move: Rashid Shaheed Is Staying
The 2026 offseason is officially here, and the Seahawks wasted no time locking down one of their own. Rashid Shaheed, your favorite deep threat, just re-signed with Seattle on a three-year deal worth $51 million, with $34.7 million guaranteed. This is the kind of move that tells you everything about how the front office is approaching the offseason: they're not blowing it up.
Keeping the Weapons Together
Look, the Seahawks roster took some hits this offseason. That's just the reality of free agency in the NFL. But by bringing back Shaheed on a long-term deal, Mike Macdonald and the front office are sending a message: we're building around the guys who can make plays. Shaheed has been a monster when he's healthy, and locking him up early means Sam Darnold has continuity at receiver heading into next season. That matters more than people realize, especially when you're trying to build chemistry in a new system under Brian Fleury's offense.
What's Next?
The draft kicks off April 23, so there's still plenty of time for the Seahawks to address their roster. Free agency just started Wednesday, and teams are going to continue making moves over the coming weeks. Seattle needs to figure out their running back situation after some departures, so keep your eyes on who walks into the War Room next. The Emerald City faithful want to see a team that competes, and keeping your weapons is the first step.
Stay tuned. The offseason is just getting started, and there's more to come.
