    Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Becomes new highest-paid WR

    Jaxon Smith-Njigba agreed to terms Monday on a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension with the Seattle Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.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 (on 26 targets) for 199 yards and two touchdowns across three playoff contests, including a Super Bowl LX win over New England. The chemistry Smith-Njigba has demonstrated with quarterback Sam Darnold makes 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' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Fifth-year option picked up by SEA

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.

    Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Modest numbers in SB win

    Jaxon Smith-Njigba brought in four of 10 targets for 27 yards during the Seattle Seahawks' 29-13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.The star receiver couldn't put together anything resembling the typical caliber of performance that earned him the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award earlier in the week, as Christian Gonzalez's blanket coverage freqently served to short-circuit the often prolific Sam Darnold-Smith-Njigba connection. Smith-Njigba also exited the game for a spell in the second half to be evaluated for a possible concussion, but he was able to return shortly thereafter. He did have a couple of particularly close calls that could have made his night much different, as Gonzalez made an excellent diving breakup of a would-be touchdown pass to the talented wideout, and Darnold also missed him running free deep late in the first quarter. Despite the quiet finish to the Super Bowl run, Smith-Njigba will head into the 2026 season as an upper-echelon fantasy asset that will be snapped up in the very early stages of the first round of drafts next summer.

    Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Possible concussion

    Jaxon Smith-Njigba is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Super Bowl LX against the Patriots on Sunday.Smith-Njigba was evaluated by medical staff after his helmet bounced off the turf, and he's gone to the locker room to undergo further testing to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, AJ Barner and Kenneth Walker will step into larger roles in the passing game for as long as Smith-Njigba is out of the game.

    Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Named best offensive player

He was named a First-Team All-Pro in January and now adds to his honors by narrowly beating Christian McCaffrey and Puka Nacua to be named Offensive Player of the Year.

    Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Dominant in NFCCG victory

    Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in 10 of 12 targets for 153 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 win against the Rams in the NFC Championship Game.Smith-Njigba was far busier in the NFC Championship Game after a run-heavy game script limited the star wideout to a 3-19-1 receiving line against the 49ers in the wild-card round. The league's leading receiver simply couldn't be covered Sunday as he routinely created separation from whatever defender Los Angeles assigned to cover him. JSN was particularly wide open when he hit pay dirt after lining up out of the backfield in the closing moments of the second quarter, giving Seattle the lead heading into halftime. Smith-Njigba has risen to the occasion at every step during his breakout 2025 campaign, culminating in his greatest opportunity to shine on Feb. 8 against the Patriots in Super Bowl LX.

That resulted in a modest stat line for Smith-Njigba, though he did manage an impressive four-yard catch in the back corner of the end zone to put the team up 17-0 late in the first quarter. Seattle will very likely be pushed more in the NFC Championship Game, and Smith-Njigba will remain Sam Darnold's primary target.

    Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught nine of 12 targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.The star wideout dominated looks from Sam Darnold, as no other Seattle player saw more than three targets. Smith-Njigba has fallen too far off the pace to have a serious chance of threatening Calvin Johnson's single-season NFL record for receiving yards, but he'll still take a 113-1,709-10 line on 154 targets into a Week 18 meeting with the 49ers, with the No. 1 seed in the NFC potentially on the line for the Seattle Seahawks.
