"Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and the Seattle Seahawks, just reset that on Monday morning. The former Rockwall standout and the reigning Super Bowl Champions agreed to terms on a four-year, $168M extension with $120M guaranteed."
"JSN is the first player to top Ja'Marr Chase who was the initial wide receiver to break the $40M per year club. Remember when we made a big deal about receivers hitting the $30M mark?"
"One would assume that conversations with George Pickens have to start around the $40M per year mark, right? If we compare the situation to CeeDee Lamb two years ago, Lamb never reset the market."
Jaxon Smith-Njigba signed a four-year, $168M extension with the Seattle Seahawks, making him the highest-paid wide receiver at $42.15M per year. This deal surpasses Ja'Marr Chase's previous record. George Pickens, while talented, remains below the $30M mark on the franchise tag. The Seahawks' efficient approach to contract negotiations reflects their Super Bowl champion status. Comparisons to CeeDee Lamb's contract negotiations suggest that JSN's market reset may influence future contracts for other receivers, including Pickens, who may seek similar terms.
