Six-year, $195.1M extension locks in elite young receiver through 2031.

Smith-Njigba signed a six-year extension through 2031 worth $195.1 million overall ($32.5 million per year average), making him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL. The Seahawks structured the deal to include his 2027 and 2028 seasons already under contract, laying a foundation for the next decade. Coach Mike Macdonald emphasized the value of locking in young, high-impact players early: "what gets lost is like what their role is as a leader on our team and how young they are... the opportunity to really lay a great foundation for the next 10 years is there."
