The Seattle Seahawks already had a great vertical passing game with quarterback Sam Darnold and receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Now, with the trade for Rashid Shaheed, it's bombs away.

Seattle's blowout of the Washington Commanders on Sunday night was a clinic by Darnold and also featured a swarming, attacking defense that ranks fifth in the league in scoring (18.8 points allowed per game) and is tied for third in sacks (27).

If you recall, the Seahawks entered and exited the 2021 draft with only three picks, none of whom is with Seattle anymore. Supposedly 2026 is considered a weaker draft class coming up, so perhaps that’s why we saw more activity than usual across the NFL regarding trades and 2026 picks given up.

Columnist Jim Moore is starting to become a Seahawks believer after Sunday's dominant win over the Washington Commanders.
