Jaxon Smith-Njigba of the Seattle Seahawks just became a very rich person. He was already relatively wealthy, but nothing compared to how much he will get paid by the team now that the player and the franchise have agreed to a new extension.
According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, Smith-Njigba will add four years to his current deal that will pay him as much as $168.6 million. That amount makes him the highest-paid receiver in the history of the NFL. The average yearly salary will be $42.15 million a season.
The good part is that his cap hit won't be that much every season as the team will spread the amount over six seasons, presumably.
