Smith-Njigba's Super Bowl Win vs Metcalf's Trade

On March 23rd, last offseason, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf requested a trade

landing with the Pittsburgh Steelers on a deal worth $33 million per season.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks just handed a massive four-year extension to their young star Jackson

Smith and Jigba, worth as much as $168,600,000.

That new contract averages out to about $42 million, $150,000 a year, making it the

highest ever for a wide receiver in the league.

Fans and analysts are buzzing over the contrast, with Smith and Jigba seen as a better cultural

fit and more consistent performer than Metcalf, who drew, penalties for his on-field temperament.

This season, Smith and Jigba led the NFL with NS793 receiving yards and boasts a higher

catch rate at 71.9%, compared to Metcalf's 60.2%.

While Metcalf chases wins in Pittsburgh, Smith and Jigba helps Seattle capture the Superbowl

alongside a stable quarterback like Sam Darnold, highlighting how teen choices shake careers.
