Saints Reportedly Open to Trading Wide Receiver Rashid Shaheed for Third-Round Pick

The New Orleans Saints are reportedly open to trading wide receiver Rashid Shaheed before the NFL trade deadline, with a desired price of a third-round pick. Patriots insider Phil Perry expressed interest, highlighting Shaheed's exceptional speed. The 27-year-old, an undrafted product in his fourth season, is playing on an expiring contract and is on pace for a career year with 39 receptions on 57 targets for 431 yards and two touchdowns, despite playing with quarterback Spencer Rattler. For the Patriots, Shaheed could provide a crucial vertical element for quarterback Drake Maye, and a trade is recommended despite the struggles of rookie Kyle Williams and the emergence of Kayshon Boutte.
