Seahawks Lock in Stars for Next Season

0:00It's March 21st for the NFL. Let's get into it. The Seattle Seahawks just locked in two stars from the Super Bowl Championship team through at least the 2027 season. They picked up the fifth year options on wide receiver Jackson Smith and Jigba for $23.9 million and cornerback Devon Witherspoon for $21.2 million. Smith and Jigba has been a standout since the Seahawks drafted him in the first round back in 2023. He earned back-to-back Pro Bowl nods, topped the league in receiving yards last season, and snagged offensive player of the year honors while helping. The team grabbed the top NFC seed. Witherspoon, taken fifth overall that same draft year, has also shown brightly on defense. The 25-year-old made the Pro Bowl every season, earned second team all pro last year despite knee troubles, and anchored a secondary that, ranked 10th against the pass. These decisions come as no shot given their impact on Seattle's elite scoring defense, which allowed just 17.2 points per game, and their big plays in the playoffs culminating
