On March 23rd, the Seattle Seahawks just locked up wide receiver Jackson Smith-Injigba with a massive contract extension, one of the richest ever for A, non-quarterback. General manager John Schneider moved fast on the deal, rewarding the young star without any drawn-out talks of drama. This fit Schneider's track record of building through the draft, especially his stand-out 2023 class. He grabbed Smith and Jigba at pick 20 overall, and cornerback Devon with his spoon, even higher in number five, turning both into elite performers' right. Away, players and fans see it as a smart play that keeps homegrown talent happy, and avoids messy holdouts like some teams face. It boosts team morale and sets a tone for loyalty in Seattle's championship run. Now Schneider can pivot to a big extension for Witherspoon, likely topping the four-year $124 million deal the Rams gave. Their new cornerback, Witherspoon's versatility makes him a perfect fit for the defense. With the salary cap rising each year, these moves bring stability and let the Seahawks

plan ahead confidently, proving Schneider's approach pays off. Big time.
