Seahawks Re-sign Shaheed, Kupp's Future Uncertain

0:00On March 19th, the Seattle Seahawks just made ways in free agency by resigning wide receiver Rishi Shaheed to a three-year 51 million. Dollar extension while letting Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker the third walk. This bold move by General Manager John Schneider has put veteran star Cooper Cups future with the team in serious doubt. Earlier this week, the focus shifted to Shaheed's value on and off the field, making him a priority over other options. Schneider called it the smart play for both now and down the road, locking in a dynamic player who fits their plans perfectly. Cups brings unmatched hardware, including two Super Bowl rings and MVP honors from that championship run. Back in 2021, he dominated with the triple crown, leading the league in receptions at 145, yards at 100, 947, and touchdowns at 16. Fans love the guy and his resume screams future Hall of Famer. That said, Cups turns 33 this summer and posted career low numbers last season with just 47 catches for 5093.

1:07Yards and two scores. He's in year two of his three-year deal, but saw less action amid the team's youth movement. Meanwhile, a huge extension looms for rising star Jackson Smith and Jigba, which could crowd things out further. While Cups' likability keeps hope alive, the signs point to him potentially moving on as Seattle builds for tomorrow.
