Jaxon Smith-Njigba's Record-Breaking NFL Deal

0:00On March 23rd, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jackson Smith-Enjigba just locked in the biggest deal for any receiver in NFL history. Fresh off-winning offensive player of the year for 2025, the 24-year-old agreed to a four-year extension worth 100, $68.6 million, with 120 million guaranteed. This packed bumps his average annual value to $42.15 million. Topping Cincinnati Bengal star, Jay-Zamaar Chase's previous mark-of, $40.25 million per year, is the latest sign of wide receivers caching in big as the position's market keeps climbing. Even with that payday, Smith-Enjigba lands at 16th on the list of highest paid players league-wide by average annual value. Quarterback still ruled the top spots, led by Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott at $60 million a year, followed by a pack including Josh Allen, Joe, Burrow, and others around $55 million.

1:00For total contract value, Kansas City cheese quarterback Patrick Mahomes holds the crown with his 10-year $450 million monster from 2020. Smith-Enjigba's extension slots in 16th there too, ahead of Chase but well behind the elite quarterbacks. Teens keep reshaping rosters this off-season, with trays like offensive tackle tight as Howard, to the Browns, and running back David Montgomery to the Texans. But deals like this one show receivers are finally getting their due in the salary chase. Football News, powered by AI. This is NFL News Today.
