Statistics seemingly make it easy to understand a player's value to their team. After all, yards and touchdowns matter. But stats can also be exceedingly misleading. That is the situation with Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed.
When general manager John Schneider made the now-clearly-brilliant move to trade for Shaheed at the deadline, some fans might have thought the team gave up too much for a wideout who had never surpassed 719 receiving yards or 46 catches in a season.
One late-round draft pick should have been enough, but Seattle gave the New Orleans Saints one fourth-round pick and one fifth-round choice in the 2026 draft.
