The Seahawks have signed one of their two first-round picks.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has come to terms on his first NFL contract. It will be a four-year deal with a team option for a fifth season.

Smith-Njigba was the first wide receiver to come off the board when the Seahawks made him the 20th overall pick. They used the fifth overall selection to add cornerback Devon Witherspoon.

Smith-Njigba, who missed most of his final season at Ohio State with a hamstring injury, is the second 2023 first-round pick to agree to his contract. Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was the first to reach a deal.

  1. Nice player with a HIGH ceiling but Addison looks like the best receiver in this class.

  2. The Seahawks have an opportunity to have an incredibly good offense this year. If they can play to expectations and their defense improves even a little bit, they can push San Fran for the division and possibly make a deep run in the playoffs.

    We believe you. Curious, what would you have said if the Seahawks took him and JSN was selected by your Vikings? We’ll wait…….
