Seattle Is Excited About the Big Play Threat of New WR Rashid Shaheed

Additionally, Shaheed can be utilized on special teams as a speedy returner. The move reunites offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak with Shaheed as the assistant previously coached at New Orleans prior to joining Seattle this offseason.
“It didn’t feel like we were missing something, it’s not like we were trying to plug holes or anything like that,” Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said of the trade, per Seahawks.com.
“It was just an opportunity to get a great player and augment what we were doing, that was it.”

The 49ers have faced a few challenges on defense in recent weeks, and Huff's return will add depth and energy to their pass rush.
“Bryce brings a lot to our defense,” said 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. “He’s a playmaker who can change the course of a game with his pressure on the quarterback and his ability to disrupt offenses. His return is huge for us, especially as we prepare for a talented Rams team.”
Huff’s ability to apply pressure and disrupt opposing quarterbacks has been a key asset for the 49ers, and his return will help bolster a defense that has already been performing at a high level. With the Rams'

As the 49ers prepare for this important divisional matchup, Huff’s return will provide a much-needed boost to the defense, helping them stay sharp and competitive as they continue to chase their playoff goals. His determination and leadership will be key as the team looks to build on their success and move forward in the second half of the season.
