A potential Rashid Shaheed trade is firmly in play
Our Summary
As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the New Orleans Saints are reportedly open to trading wide receiver Rashid Shaheed. The team is seeking a third-round draft pick in return for the 2022 undrafted free agent, who also excels as a return specialist. Since becoming a full-time starter in 2024, Shaheed has primarily focused on receiving duties despite his 2023 accolades as a Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro returner.
In the 2025 season, through eight games, Shaheed has recorded 39 receptions for 431 yards and two touchdowns. His standout season was in 2023, when he tallied 46 catches for 719 yards and five touchdowns. Shaheed's current contract includes a $4.25 million base salary for 2025, and he is set to become a free agent in March. A team acquiring him would take on $2.125 million for the remainder of the season.
