The Seahawks acquired the speedy 27-year-old Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints at the Nov. 4 trade deadline in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round draft pick and a 2026 fifth-round pick.
Shaheed was a game-changer for Seattle on special teams, scoring on two punt return touchdowns and a kick return touchdown. He had a 100-yard kick return TD in a Week 14 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, a 58-yard punt return TD that sparked the a dramatic Week 16 comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams and a game-opening 95-yard kick return TD that ignited an NFC Divisional Round rout of the San Francisco 49ers.
Shaheed didn’t put up big stats as a receiver, totaling just 18 catches for 266 yards across 12 regular-season and postseason games with Seattle. However, he caught a 51-yard pass that keyed a game-opening TD drive in the Seahawks’ NFC title game victory over the Rams. And as a field-stretching vertical threat, he helped Seattle’s rushing attack face lighter boxes down the stretch.
