Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has signed a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history, according to multiple reports Monday.

The deal includes $120 million in guaranteed money and gives Smith-Njigba an average annual salary of $42.15 million. This surpasses Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who previously held the record with a four-year, $161 million contract averaging $40.25 million per season.

Smith-Njigba was named NFL Offensive Player of the Year for the 2025 season and earned First-team All Pro honors. The contract extension comes after the Seahawks' Super Bowl 60 victory, capping off a remarkable season for both the player and the franchise.

The 23-year-old receiver has established himself as one of the premier offensive weapons in the league. Smith-Njigba had previously expressed expectations of becoming the highest-paid receiver in the NFL, and the Seahawks organization moved quickly to secure his services long-term.

The massive contract reflects the current market value for elite wide receivers and demonstrates Seattle's commitment to building around their young star. The deal ensures Smith-Njigba will remain with the Seahawks through the 2029 season.
