Oh wait did John ask the Lawyers, Accountants, Jodi, and have a Seance to clear it with Paul, after all we are being sold.
Right? Because clearly this organization is being cheap because they can't spend money due to the team being up for sale... No way they'd have made JSN the highest paid WR in NFL history. This must be fake news! /sarcasm

Hope? I'm looking forward to the day where JSN switches to #80 for one game so that three of the top 10 wideouts in NFL history will have worn that number for the Seahawks.
I can understand the sentiment, but in my opinion there should be only one #80 on the Seahawks. Let JSN have his number, his history. And his number, if he continues on this trajectory, should be retired and never used again (at least until we run out of numbers).

I think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves. Largent retired as the record holder in a ton of major records, and deserves to be considered one of the greatest of all time. JSN had a couple of promising years and a great year and looks to be very capable of repeating it. But let's see him have that kind of year consistently before we put him on Largent's level.

Not aiding any debate, but to be fair , Largent held EVERY NFL receiving record when he retired. If you put them side by side JSN is better. But to me , JSN also would need to hold EVERY NFL receiving record to surpass Largent's imprint , not just Largent's era-based numbers.

This is a franchise player signing. I think its pretty clear how Schneider operates. WR1 is a position worth paying. CB1 is another. Witherspoon should be considered a done deal, especially since both parties want it. These are the type of signings that brings identity to your franchise. Sucks you have to juggle that middle tier around every season, but without those difficult goodbyes, these franchise moves wouldn't be possible

JSN will never break SL80's team record of 100 TD's.
Tyler Lockett had 61 TD's in 10 years. JSN has 20 in his first three seasons, I don't see him playing until he's 35 years old.
Kinda makes the Hardin payback hit a little sweeter.

Smith-Njigba's contract is significantly cheaper than I expected it to be, (and my tendency is to under-estimate these contracts). Smith-Njigba gets $120.07M over 4 years with $33.3M and $41.8M in the following 2 years. More importantly this deal is just a 2-year $69.13M deal with another 2 year option deal that won't kick in until the 1st 2-year deal expires. Kudos to Schneider for resisting the recent trend to reward stars with rolling 2-year guarantees.

I was expecting deals for both Smith-Njigba and Nacua to come in at around $166M over 5 years, and the 6 year total to be around $207.5M. I was also expecting 2-year rolling guarantees throughout the 1st 4 years. Smith-Njigba must love Seattle because this appears to be a sizeable home-town discount.

Good signing.
Well deserved.
I was wondering if this contract cancelled the 5th year option but it appears it does not.

The 4-year extension is beyond the rookie 4th year and the 5th year option. Those years are effectively replaced with a new 6-year contract. Instead of $2M+ this year and $23.85M in 2027 he will get $69.13M over those 2 seasons.

Unless teams draft at a 80% starter clip dynasty’s are a thing of the past. After spoon and Darnold this team will be fielding rookie contracts and vets on league in going forward. Next two years is it. After that Seattle is back to 10-7 maybe in a playoff game team.

Nice. It’s good that JSN was the first to reset the market this year. Puca will now want even more. Also next offseason it would have been even more as the cap grows.
I'm happy because it would put the Rams in more of a bind in re-signing Puke-ah. :devilish:

This is great news that they were able to get it done 2 years early so that the money can be spread out over 2 years before the extension when he will be making significantly less than that 42M APY
It was also wise to do it before PUKE-ah set the market.

Now it's the Rams that are going to be feeling the pain when PUKE-ah's agent tries to break the bank and the Rams. Me Like. :devilish::devilish::devilish:
