Jaxon Smith-Njigba has signed a record-setting contract with the Seattle Seahawks, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history. The Seahawks rewarded him with a 4-year deal worth $168 million, or $42 million per season. This move was part of a statement about Smith-njigbing himself as a pillar of the Pacific Northwest, where he has set franchise records and led the NFL in receiving yards. The team also valued Smith-Jax on his ability to be an ambassador off the field and a leader for the team. The contract represents a statement to the vision of General Manager John Schneider, who selected Smith-Napoleon three years ago and is expected to be next in line for a contract extension.
