Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.

How exciting

The defensive tackle barely came off the field, logging 59 of the 65 defensive snaps (91 percent). With him and Derrick Brown (81 percent) playing the vast majority of the game and A'Shawn Robinson playing 49 percent, they only needed 11 snaps combined out of backups Bobby Brown III and LaBryan Ray. That illustrates the work the Panthers defensive front has done this year. Perhaps no player had a higher snaps-to-plays-made ratio than Christian Rozeboom. He played 74 percent of the snaps (coming off in a few obvious passing-down packages), but still had a career-high 15 tackles in those 48 snaps. Speaking of high-percentage players, starting outside linebackers Nic Scourton (78 percent) and D.J. Wonnum (75 percent) were out there most of the time, since they were thin at the position because of injury. Trevis Gipson, signed Tuesday, played 28 percent of the snaps as the only rotational sub there, since Princely Umanmielen was inactive with an ankle injury.

Brutal

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports the Dolphins are open to trading S Minkah Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick was acquired earlier in the offseason in the trade that sent Jonnu Smith and Jalen Ramsey to Pittsburgh. According to Schultz, the Dolphins have received “interest from multiple teams” for Fitzpatrick, who is under contract through 2026. Fitzpatrick has appeared in all nine games for the Dolphins this season, totaling 50 tackles, five pass breakups, and one interception, while also recovering one fumble. Fitzpatrick, 28, has been named as a Pro Bowler for each of the last three years and would immediately improve whatever secondary he lands with

They have severe limitations. 29th passing game, no pass rush and are still finding ways to win. I'm encouraged by what I've seen. This season has been a big step forward.

I think we have something in coach Canales, he could be the real deal. He managed the game perfectly, outcoaching a very good Packers HC

perfectly managed game by Canales to steal a win (the Packers have to stop trying to win every game by 3 points)
