SEATTLE — And away we go, with five takeaways from the Super Bowl-champion Seahawks’ camp …
• Hopes are high for fifth-year receiver Rashid Shaheed, who arrived in Seattle at the trade deadline last year and, as such, had to work to find a role as he jumped on a moving train. With a full offseason, the staff has seen his confidence build. And having Brian Fleury come over from San Francisco—which is where 2025 OC Klint Kubiak migrated from as well—has helped, in that he’s getting some continuity after working in a bunch of different schemes early in his career. The staff loves Shaheed’s elusiveness in addition to his elite straight-line speed. There’s a chance now, with some time, to build a role for him on gadget plays like you’d have seen years ago with Deebo Samuel Sr. What’ll be interesting is how Shaheed helps the team to preserve Cooper Kupp a bit, with Kupp also likely to be battling tight end Elijah Arroyo and fullback Robbie Ouzts for snaps as the team works through different personnel groupings.
