New Orleans Saints wide receiver and All-Pro returner Rashid Shaheed has agreed to a one-year, $5.2 million contract extension with the team, ESPN reported Saturday.
Shaheed, 25, was also named to the Pro Bowl last season after averaging 13.6 yards on punt returns and 21.3 yards on kickoffs. An undrafted free agent whom New Orleans signed out of Weber State in 2022, Shaheed also racked up 719 yards and five touchdowns on 46 receptions in 2023.
The extension applies to the 2025 season, after the Saints tendered him a $985,000 contract for 2024.
In 27 games, including 14 starts, over his first two seasons, Shaheed has amassed 74 receptions for 1,207 yards and seven scores. He also returned a punt for a touchdown last season.
The Saints listed Shaheed as a starting receiver on their 2023 season-ending depth chart, along with Chris Olave.
The Saints placed Olave on the non-football injury list on Friday.
