Saints Open to Trading Rashid Shaheed Before Nov. 4 Deadline

New Orleans is entertaining offers on Rashid Shaheed ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline with Chris Olave considered off the table.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter says Shaheed is the Saints receiver drawing the broadest interest, with Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Denver among teams making calls.
  • Team posture has sharpened in recent days: New Orleans is receptive on Shaheed but is viewed as unlikely to move Olave, who remains a core piece under a 2026 club option.
  • Shaheed is in a contract year and projects as a cost‑controlled rental, carrying appeal as a field‑stretching receiver and All‑Pro returner.
  • Usage has shifted this season to more volume short and intermediate, with 39 receptions for 431 yards to date, boosting his versatility for suitors.
  • Pro Football Rumors notes New Orleans could seek a Day 2 pick, as the 1‑7 Saints weigh acquiring draft capital against maintaining depth for a new starting quarterback.
