Smith-Njigba, 24, was instrumental in Seattle’s quest to Super Bowl LX. The 20th overall pick of 2023 has developed into one of the league’s best receivers with his quick burst of speed. The two-time Pro Bowler had a career-year with 119 receptions, 1,793 receiving yards (league leading) and 10 touchdowns, including a First-Team All-Pro honor and winning Offensive Player of the Year.
After winning the Lombardi Trophy, JSN made it known that he was not “pressed” into getting 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 corners with his ability to blitz and wreak havoc for Mike Macdonald’s defense. Witherspoon has made the three consecutive Pro Bowls since he entered the league.
Despite seeing key contributors sign elsewhere in free agency, the Seahawks are making sure their homegrown talented duo stay in Seattle for the foreseeable future.
