US EditionSeattle Seahawks Receiver Set to Receive Record Deal

- Seattle Seahawks announced that Jaxon Smith-Njigba agreed to a four-year, $168.6 million extension that makes him the highest-paid wide receiver, averaging $42.15 million per year.
- Following a breakout 2025 season, the Seahawks picked up Smith-Njigba's fifth-year option three days earlier, setting the stage for a record extension, sources say.
- Contract details indicate the extension includes $120 million guaranteed and keeps Jaxon Smith-Njigba with the Seattle Seahawks through the 2031 season.
- By making Smith-Njigba the top-paid receiver, the extension resets the market above Ja'Marr Chase's $161 million deal and lets Seattle focus on extending Devon Witherspoon soon.
