One of the top potential free agent options for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2026 offseason wants to run it back with his previous squad.
Seattle Seahawks free agent-to-be wide receiver Rashid Shaheed said during an appearance on NFL Network this week that he wants to reunite with the Super Bowl LX champions.
“Absolutely, absolutely, yeah,” Shaheed said, via Pro Football Talk. “Conversations are definitely going to be heating up towards March. But you know, I would love to come back. I loved my experience here, I’m loving the Pacific Northwest, and obviously the organization is second to none. I kind of want to run it back. We just won the Super Bowl, so, you know, why not?”
Shaheed joined the Seahawks in a trade deadline swap from the New Orleans Saints, and make a big impact after joining Seattle.
In nine regular-season games, he caught 15 passes for 188 yards, and he added three catches for 78 yards in Seattle’s three playoff games. He also returned a kickoff for a touchdown in the Seahawks’ playoff win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Seattle has several important pending free agents, including Shaheed, Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker III and defensive backs Coby Bryant, Josh Jobe and Riq Woolen.
Shaheed is one of the top available free agents that are currently set to hit the market. Spotrac currently ranks his market value as $14.1 million per season, which is the seventh-highest behind George Pickens, Jauan Jennings, Alec Pierce, Wan’dale Robinson, Deebo Samuel and Tyreek Hill.
The Steelers have a massive need at the wide receiver position, with just three players under contract from last year’s team: DK Metcalf, Pro Bowl special teamer Ben Skowronek and former third-round draft pick Roman Wilson, who finished the 2025 season with 12 catches and was a healthy scratch for most of the stretch run.
