Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year, has reached agreement with the Seattle Seahawks on a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history, sources told ESPN.
The deal averages $42.15 million per year and includes over $120 million guaranteed, both setting records for any wide receiver. With this new agreement, Smith-Njigba is contractually tied to Seattle for the next six years through the 2031 season.
Smith-Njigba’s deal with the reigning Super Bowl champion Seahawks is the latest jump in the wide receiver market, one that will impact the division rival Los Angeles Rams, who could be working on a Puka Nacua extension this offseason.
Nacua is entering the final year of his deal in 2026 and now has a new bar to clear.
