Smith-Njigba earned Pro-Bowl honors in 2024 and 2025, and has emerged as the league's top receiver last season, leading the NFL with a franchise-record 1,793 receiving yards on his way to first-team All-Pro and AP Offensive Player of the Year honors.
The Seahawks needed to do this because he is one of the top players in the league, and they did not want to lose him or have to negotiate a new contract during the season.
Now the Seahawks can concentrate on signing other players, either through free agency or the draft, to help both Smith-Njigba and quarterback Sam Darnold.
