The Seattle Seahawks recently lavished star Jaxon Smith-Njigba with a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in football.

Is Cam Ward set up to fail? Can Jaxson Dart protect himself? Biggest Year 2 questions for top 2025 draft picks

We spent so much time earlier this year thinking and talking and writing about the 2026 NFL Draft. It makes sense, given that for most of the offseason, we didn’t know who would be drafted where or how they would affect their new teams. Even now that they’ve been drafted, we’ve only had a short while to figure out who fits best and what we should expect from them as rookies.
