The 27-year-old was considered the 10th-best player in free agency this year, according to USA TODAY Sports' Nate Davis . He checked in as the third-best receiver, ranking behind Alec Pierce . George Pickens ranked as the top free agent at the position, but he was franchise tagged by the Dallas Cowboys .
Shaheed hasn't been known to post flashy numbers at receiver, but his speed certainly opens up an offense. He totaled just 687 receiving yards in 2025 after splitting time with the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks , but Shaheed can make an impact in many ways.
A special teams star, his skillset was on full display throughout the Seahawks' Super Bowl run. He might not profile as a WR1 in an offense, but that isn't the expectation.
Here's a look at the contract details for Shaheed and where he fits on the depth chart in Seattle:
