Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Shaheed is not close to a new deal with Seattle and is expected to explore offers when the legal negotiating window opens March 9, with signings allowed starting March 11.
- Seattle holds roughly $58 million in cap space, with budgeting considerations that include looming extensions for Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Devon Witherspoon.
- The Raiders are being linked to Shaheed as a potential suitor, with additional interest speculated for receiver-needy teams such as the Steelers and Broncos, according to multiple reports.
- Market projections peg Shaheed for a multi-year contract, with estimates ranging from about three years and $39 million to roughly $42 million.
- Acquired from the Saints for fourth- and fifth-round picks, Shaheed boosted his value with elite return production and playoff impact, while Seattle also declined to franchise-tag Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III.
