Jaxon Smith-Njigba Seeks NFL's Highest WR Contract After OPOY Season

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, fresh off winning the 2025 Offensive Player of the Year award and a Super Bowl LX victory, asserts he deserves to be the NFL's highest-paid receiver. He led the league with 119 receptions for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, earning Pro Bowl nods in 2024 and 2025. While not in a rush for an extension, Smith-Njigba aims to surpass Ja'Marr Chase's $40.25 million AAV deal. The 2023 first-round pick is eligible for an extension this offseason, with the Seahawks also holding a May 1 deadline for his fifth-year option.
