Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Smith-Njigba’s value grew exponentially in 2025, and now he’s getting paid for it.
He went from a part-time starter to a full-time star, and his stats reflect it.
With a similar roster on offense, he’ll likely continue to produce.
It’s not surprising he’s the highest-paid receiver in NFL history, given his recent performance.
This one feels like a “learning moment” for all the other receivers in the league.
Original Observation: It’s not like anyone thought he was going to struggle to get paid after that Super Bowl run.
