Rams Miss Shaheed, Seahawks Rebuild

0:00On March 11th, the Los Angeles Rams nailed a strong off-season with general manager less need, building a roster primed for another Super Bowl run. One addition that could have kept it off perfectly was wide receiver and return specialist Rashid Shaheed. Instead, he resigned with the Seattle Seahawks on a contract extension. Meanwhile, the Seahawks look very different heading into 2026. They've locked up just two players so far, Cornerback, Josh Job, and Shaheed. Before key contributors bolted elsewhere, Edge rusher boy Mafei to the Bengals, running back Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs, safety co-Brian to the Bears, and Cornerback Rick Wolland to the Eagles. Rams fans feel the sting of missing Shaheed, who might have sparked a huge celebration in LA. For Seattle, shedding these talents, including their MVP, weakens a team fresh off a Super Bowl win, especially facing a brutal first place schedule. Nine more Seahawks players remain free agents, and the team hasn't added any veteran help yet.

1:02This points to a rebuild, focused on the draft, rather than chasing immediate contention. That roster flux in Seattle, hands the resourceful Sneed even more Edge, letting him craft his own return specialist solution for those heated, rematch as a head.
