Jaxon Smith-Njigba prepares for significant role with Seahawks in 2026

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, coming off a standout 2025 season, looks to continue his success in 2026. In 2025, he led the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards and was a key player in the Seahawks' Super Bowl victory. Smith-Njigba recently signed a four-year, $168.6 million extension, marking him the highest-paid receiver ever. The Seahawks have made significant offensive changes, hiring Brian Fleury as the new offensive coordinator and drafting running back Jadarian Price. Despite these changes, Smith-Njigba is expected to remain a primary target, though the offense may spread opportunities around to other receivers and running backs.
