Seahawks Lock Up Smith-Njigba with Massive Extension

0:00It's March 23rd, NFL news today starts now, AI powered and always on. The Seattle Seahawks just locked up, wide receiver Jackson Smith and Jigba, with a massive four-year extension worth $168 million, including $120 million guaranteed, that breaks down to an average annual value of $42.15 million per year. As reigning Super Bowl champions, they're moving fast to secure their star playmaker early in his eligibility window. This deal comes right as the NFL offseason heats up for top-wide outs. Smith and Jigba, a standout from his college days, has proven himself among the league's elite with his skills in their recent championship boost. The Seahawks acted quietly and efficiently, avoiding any drawn-out drama. Fans and analysts are buzzing about the ripple effects, especially for players like George Pickens. Negotiations for him now, likely start around $40 million a year, given how this reset sets the market benchmark.

1:01It's a smart play by Seattle to get ahead before values climb even higher. Looking at past deals, it echoes what happened with CD-LAM, who signed just below Justin Jefferson's Market Resetter a couple years back. Others like Pukka Nakua could push past Smith and Jigba's numbers soon. But for now, this sets a high bar that complicates things for teens holding out. With these extensions shaping the wide receiver landscape, expect more big moves as teens race to keep their offenses humming strong.
