Seahawks Announce Historic Jaxson Smith-Njigba News on Thursday

Smith-Njigba is establishing himself as one of the league's best players and on Thursday, he was named the NFC's Offensive Player of the Month for October.

On the same day, the Seahawks' official website announced he became the first wide receiver in franchise history to win the honor.

"Smith-Njigba is also the first Seahawks receiver to earn offensive player of the month honors (receivers Tyler Lockett and Nate Burleson both won Special Teams Player of the Month during their Seahawks career)," team writer Ari Horton wrote.

In October, Smith-Njigba played in three games, hauling in 24 receptions for 417 yards and three touchdowns on 36 targets.

Horton also noted that Smith-Njigba became the second player in team history to record three straight 100-yard games, joining Metcalf.

The one-time Pro Bowler is eligible for an extension in 2026 and is working himself into a huge payday. Spotrac predicts Smith-Njigba's market value will earn him a three-year, $109.5 million deal.

For now, though, he and the Seahawks remain focused on 2025, with an upcoming matchup against the 3-5 Commanders on "Sunday Night Football" at 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday on NBC.
