Landover, Maryland - September 27, 2026 - Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed, who recently signed a $51 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks, is experiencing a slow start to his season. Seattle coach Mike Macdonald stated that he does not have immediate information on Shaheed's statistics, but emphasized that Shaheed's production will come as the team follows its process.
Shaheed has 12 targets through three games, with six catches for 53 yards and no touchdowns. The Seahawks have relied on Jaxon Smith-Njigba for explosive plays, with the receiver now averaging 135 yards and two touchdowns per game. Shaheed has the potential to be a bigger part of the offensive strategy, and the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers could provide an opportunity for him to make a bigger impact.
