Seattle Seahawks agree record Jaxon Smith-Njigba contract extension
Reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba has agreed a record-breaking four-year, $168.6m contract extension with the Seattle Seahawks.
The landmark deal averages $42.15m per year and includes more than $120m in guaranteed money.
Both financial figures establish new all-time benchmarks for any wide receiver in the history of the league.
This lucrative new agreement officially ties the prolific pass-catcher to the defending Super Bowl champions through the 2031 season.
Setting a new market standard
This monumental jump in the receiver market is expected to significantly influence upcoming contract negotiations across the sport.
NFC West division rivals the Los Angeles Rams will be particularly attentive as they prepare for crucial offseason discussions.
Rams star Puka Nacua is currently entering the final year of his rookie deal ahead of the 2026 campaign.
The newly established financial bar means the California franchise will likely face a much steeper asking price to retain their own offensive cornerstone.
