The NFL is designed for consistent success to be difficult. When a team rises quickly to the top, it’s a struggle to avoid crashing right back down.
The Seattle Seahawks have come out of nowhere this season to become true contenders in the NFC. Superstar receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has led the charge on offense, setting a record-breaking pace through the first two-thirds of the year.
But with the young wideout's success comes a daunting problem that will threaten the continuity of the Seahawks' dominance. Smith-Njigba will be ready for a new contract soon, and the quickly-rising value of the deal will make things much more difficult on Seattle's front office moving forward.
