The NFL Trade Deadline is here. Teams will be on the phone all day long trying to improve their roster.

The Seahawks are loading up their wide receiver room to give Sam Darnold as many weapons as possible. The Seahawks are a legit threat in the NFC and are coming off a monster Sunday Night Football win over the Washington Commanders.
The Seahawks are sending their 2026 4th- and 5th-round picks to the Saints for Shaheed. It has also been reported that the trade will only cost the Seahawks $1.26 million.
At 1-8, the Saints are going to rebuild. Shaheed is a great young player who will help Seattle contend. On the season, he has 44 catches for 499 yards and two touchdowns. Those are great numbers playing as a WR2 behind Chris Olave . Shaheed is one of the fastest receivers in the NFL, and paired alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba , should be fun to watch. Shaheed also reunites with OC Klint Kubiak. Kubiak was the offensive coordinator for the Saints last season, which saw Shaheed have a breakout season.
Shaheed becomes the second receiver traded on Tuesday. The Las Vegas Raiders also traded away receiver Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars , who just beat the Raiders on Sunday.
