The Seattle Seahawks have reached a new agreement with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, per @AdamSchefter of ESPN. The deal represents the latest significant jump in the NFL’s wide receiver market.
The contract for Smith-Njigba is expected to have immediate ramifications for the Los Angeles Rams. The Seahawks' division rival could be working on an extension for Puka Nacua this offseason. Nacua is currently entering the final year of his deal in 2026 and now has a new financial benchmark to clear following this latest signing.
As the market for young wideouts continues to reset, the Seahawks have moved to secure their former first-round pick. This move establishes a new bar for the 2023 wide receiver draft class as they become eligible for second contracts. Further details regarding the specific financial terms of the agreement have not yet been disclosed.
