Saints Trade Deadline

4 Players the Saints Could Sell at the Trade Deadline

4. Rashid Shaheed

Rashid Shaheed could probably generate the biggest return at the trade deadline, as the former undrafted free agent has overcome the odds and developed into a quality receiver for the Saints. Blessed with fantastic deep speed, Shaheed has the ability to score on any given play, and that will make him a desirable asset to just about any team in the league.

The only question is whether or not the Saints will make him available. On the one hand, he plays an important position, is only 27, and has already developed a rapport with potential franchise quarterback Spencer Rattler. On the other hand, he’ll be a free agent at the end of the season and New Orleans probably can’t afford to keep him around for the long haul, given their salary cap restrictions.
