Seahawks Jaxon Smith-Njigba Becomes NFL's Highest-Paid WR, Reportedly Inking $168M Deal
Becomes new highest-paid WR Smith-Njigba agreed to terms Monday on a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension with the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year, Smith-Njigba had his fifth-year option picked up by Seattle in March, but the intent had always been to negotiate a long-term deal for the two-time Pro Bowler. Now, he becomes the highest-paid wideout in league history at an average of $42.15 million annually, including $120 million guaranteed. Smith-Njigba is coming off a career-best 2025 campaign in which he secured 119 of 163 targets for a league-leading 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns across 17 regular-season appearances, plus 17 catches (26 targets) for 199 yards and two touchdowns on 26 targets across three playoff contents, including a Super Bowl LX win over New England. The chemistry Smith-Njigba has demonstrated wit quarterback Sam Darnold make him a safe bet to return on expectations as one of the top wide receivers taken in 2026 fantasy drafts, especially in PPR formats.

Seahawks exercise Jaxon Smith-Njigba's fifth-year option: How does this affect Seattle's salary cap? The Seattle Seahawks made a move to keep Jaxon Smith-Njigba on the roster, but how does the salary cap of the team gets affected by this?
MARCH 21 • BOLAVIP.COM
Fifth-year option picked up by SEA The Seahawks exercised Smith-Njigba's fifth-year option for 2027 on Friday.
Impact An obvious no-brainer for Seattle after Smith-Njigba was named Offensive Player of the Year in 2025 after securing 119 of 163 targets for an NFL-high 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns across 17 regular-season appearances. JSN then added another 17 catches for 199 yards and two touchdowns on 26 targets across three playoff contests. Through three seasons, Smith-Njigba is a two-time Pro Bowl selection and was a first-team All-Pro last season. With the optioned picked up, Smith-Njigba is set to earn $23.8 million in 2027.
