Engraving error mars Smith-Njigba's Offensive Player of the Year trophy

The NFL apologized after Seattle’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba received an Offensive Player of the Year trophy engraved with a misprint, reading ‘2025 Defensive Player of the Year’ and a spacing error; a replacement trophy will be shipped. Smith-Njigba had a historic season (119 receptions, 1,793 yards, 10 TD) and led the league in receiving yards, but the engraving mistake notably overshadows the achievement and was described by NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy as a basic spelling error.

Washington Millionaires Tax Dampens Take-Home for Smith-Njigba's Big Deal

Washington’s proposed 9.9% “millionaires’ tax” starting in 2028 would cost Jaxon Smith-Njigba roughly $12.3M in state taxes on his $168.6M extension, while Ja’Marr Chase would pay about $4.46M under Ohio’s tax changes; after state taxes, Chase would take home about $156.54M and Smith-Njigba about $156.30M, meaning the tax geography narrows the gap despite the bigger contract and highlights how blue states tax athletes more than red states like Ohio.
