Seahawks receiver Rashid Shaheed entered free agency on Monday. He decided to stay put.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus has announced that Shaheed will re-sign with Seattle. It’s a three-year, $51 million deal, with $34.7 million in guarantees.
The Seahawks acquired Shaheed from the Seahawks during the 2025 season for a fourth- and fifth-round pick.
While Shaheed had a significant impact as a returner and a deep threat, he was targeted only 26 times in nine regular-season games, with 15 catches. In nine games with the Saints, Shaheed was on the field for 74 percent of the offensive snaps. During nine games with Seattle, he was on the field for 48 percent of the offense snaps.
Shaheed also had 13 punt returns, including one touchdown, and 14 kickoff returns, including one touchdown, with the Seahawks.
The Seahawks are set to lose another member of their Super Bowl LX roster.
Edge rusher Boye Mafe’s agent Mike McCartney announced that his client has agreed to a three-year deal with the Bengals. Running back Kenneth Walker and safety Coby Bryant have also agreed to deals with other teams on Monday while cornerback Josh Jobe agreed to re-sign with the team.
Per multiple reports, Mafe’s deal is worth $60 million.
Mafe appeared in 65 regular season games and four playoff contests since joining the Seahawks as a 2022 fourth-round pick. He had 164 tackles, 20 sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in the regular season and he had seven playoff tackles. Five of those came during the team’s run to the Super Bowl title earlier this year.
The Bengals saw Joseph Ossai agree to sign with the Jets on Monday and Trey Hendrickson is expected to move on, so Mafe will be part of a new look on the edge of the Cincinnati defense.
Cornerback Josh Jobe will be back for the title defense in Seattle.
According to multiple reports, Jobe has agreed to re-sign with the Seahawks. It is reported to be a three-year deal worth $24 million.
Jobe signed with the Eagles after going undrafted out of Alabama in 2022 and signed to the Seahawks’ practice squad after being waived in Philadelphia in 2024. He appeared in 10 games that season and took on a starting role in 2025.
Jobe had 54 tackles, an interception and a half-sack in the regular season and then had 11 tackles and a forced fumble during the Seahawks’ postseason run to the Super Bowl LX title.
The Seahawks saw safety Coby Bryant agree to sign with the Bears on Monday and cornerback Riq Woolen remains on track for free agency.
The Bears are adding a Super Bowl LX champion as part of their bid to win one of their own.
According to multiple reports, they have agreed to terms with safety Coby Bryant on a three-year deal. The contract is worth $40 million.
Bryant started 15 regular season games and all three postseason games for the Seahawks during their title run. He originally joined the team as a 2022 fourth-round pick and appeared in 43 games during his first three years in Seattle.
Bryant had 66 tackles, four interceptions and a forced fumble in the 2025 regular season. He added 10 tackles during the team’s three postseason games.
From Larry Brown to Desmond Howard to Dexter Jackson to Kenneth Walker III.
There are now four Super Bowl MVPs who left weeks later in free agency.
Walker, per multiple reports, has agreed to terms with the Chiefs.
The initial wave of reports did not include financial information. Which is unusual. And which will create the impression that the agents who leaked the information didn’t feel compelled to brag about the value of the deal.
The Seahawks opted not to apply the franchise or transition tag to Walker, at $14.293 million. The top of the market exceeds $20 million per year.
This feels like one of those deals that will require a full breakdown of all relevant terms.
Either way, Walker will be the next starting running back in Kansas City. And the next question will be whether they use him as an every-down workhorse, and whether they’ll be making a renewed commitment to the run — especially as quarterback Patrick Mahomes recovers from a torn ACL and may be restricting his lateral, hair-on-fire scrambling to look for open receivers.
