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 a wide receiver.
With this new agreement, the two-time Pro Bowler is contractually tied to Seattle through the 2031 season. The Seahawks already exercised Smith-Njigba’s fifth-year option for 2027 — worth approximately $23.9 million — last week.
Smith-Njigba’s deal with the 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.
