The Seattle Seahawks have secured wide receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba for the long term, reaching a new agreement that keeps him under contract through the 2031 season, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The deal ensures that Smith-Njigba is contractually tied to Seattle for the next six years. The former first-round draft pick has quickly become a focal point of the Seahawks' offensive strategy, and this extension solidifies his position as a cornerstone of the franchise for the foreseeable future.
While the specific financial details of the new agreement have not yet been made public, the commitment spans through the 2031 NFL season. By locking down Smith-Njigba, the Seahawks front office continues its trend of retaining premium young talent to maintain stability within their receiving corps.
Smith-Njigba has been a productive presence in the Seattle lineup since entering the league, and this six-year window provides the team with significant roster certainty at the wide receiver position. Further details regarding the structure of the contract are expected to emerge as the deal is officially processed by the league office.
