Smith-Njigba, 24, was instrumental in Seattle’s quest for Super Bowl LX. The 2023 No. 20 overall pick has developed into one of the league’s best receivers with rapid acceleration. The two-time All-Pro Bowler had 119 receptions, 1,793 receiving yards (leading in the league) and 10 touchdowns, including first-team All-Pro honors and winning Offensive Player of the Year honors.
After winning the Lombardi Trophy, JSN let it be known that he was not “pressured” into a new contract extension but believes he deserves to be the highest paid WR in the NFL.
Before selecting JSN in 2023, the Seahawks selected Witherspoon with the No. 5 overall pick. The 25-year-old has been one of the best cornerbacks with his ability to cut and wreak havoc on Mike Macdonald’s defence. Witherspoon has gone to three straight Pro Bowls since entering the league.
Despite seeing key contributors sign elsewhere in free agency, the Seahawks are ensuring their homegrown talented duo will be in Seattle for the foreseeable future.
