Rashid Shaheed: Seahawks' Speedster in Free Agency

On March 8th, Seattle Seahawks' wide receiver, Rashid Shaheed, is heading into free agency

after a big role in their Super Bowl victory, traded over from the New Orleans Saints last

November, the 27-year-old flashed his speed and helped carry the team down the stretch

to the Lombardi Trophy. Shaheed stands out not just as a deep threat with a strong yards

per catch average, but also as a top return specialist. He scored two return touchdowns

in the regular season and another in the playoffs, making him valuable on special teams

right away. Fans and analysts see him drawing plenty of interest from teams needing that

explosive element. The Seahawks talked extension with him, but no deal came together, leaving

room for other offers to pull him away. His career earnings sit at just $7.3 million

as an undrafted player, so he's due for a big payday that could top that in one season

alone. Seattle faces tough choices with a stacked roster to retain after the championship

run. As the legal tampering period kicks off soon, expect Shaheed to weigh his options

carefully before deciding where he lands next.
