Seahawks reportedly looking for a WR to 'complement' Jaxon Smith-Njigba

There is some good news and bad news when it comes to the Seattle Seahawks' wide receiver corps.

  • Good news: they have Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is unquestionably the best wide receiver in the NFL and is forging a future first ballot Hall of Fame caliber career with every new record he shatters.

  • Bad news: no one else is doing anything.

Seriously, it's getting a bit ridiculous at this point. JSN is leading the NFL with 71 receptions for 1,036 yards and nine touchdown receptions through nine weeks of play. Outstanding. As for the rest of the Seahawks who have caught a pass this season? Yeah, 12 other players have combined for a grand total of 1,053 yards. The next leading receivers are Cooper Kupp with 238 yards and two scores on 22 receptions, and AJ Barner who has 23 catches for 210 yards. No one else has eclipsed 200 yards through the air.

Yeesh.

As you can see, it probably makes sense why the Seahawks are reportedly looking for another wide receiver to "compliment" JSN, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz. It's kind of why they traded for Rashid Shaheed last year, as WR2 was an underrated need of the team, as well as providing a spark to their special teams. Well Shaheed hasn't done much of anything in 2026, as he only has 16 receptions for 163 yards and the only points he has scored were on a two-point conversion during Seattle's 17-14 loss to the Broncos.

One possible player could be Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs, who we at Seahawks Wire have previously discussed as a trade option. ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting the Colts have received an offer of at least a fourth round pick for Downs.

Josh Downs isn't exactly lighting it up this year, but his 33 receptions for 354 yards would immediately place him second on the team statistically.
