The extension comes to no surprise to Jaxon or his family.
Maada said, "You plant something 20 years ago when he's four years old, and then 20 years later, it comes into full bloom… He's worth it. He's worth every penny."
"Yeah, \[I knew\] it could be possible," Jaxon said. "But when things are kind of out of my control, I tend to just let the universe do its thing, and just walk by faith and continue to stick to my principles and what I stand on. So, yeah, I knew it was possible, but anything is possible."
He later said, "This proves that I'm good – for a long time. I guess that's what it proves."
Jaxon's extension comes on the heels of a season where he led the league with 1,793 yards on 119 receptions, both of which are franchise records, and lived up to his "best in the world" nickname. He proved that he was one of the best. Through the entire season, Jaxon was checking the boxes of a long list of goals he'd set for himself during the 2025 offseason. Winning the Super Bowl was the ultimate goal on that list, but a contract extension was the least of his worries.
"I didn't even have it on the list, to be honest," he said. "I said the most important thing is win the Super Bowl, and I truly meant that, and everything else, it just falls in your hands."
Canaan added, "It just shows that hard work beats talent. I'm very grateful for the Seahawks too... give that kind of investment to my brother, because they're just not going to just give someone 100 million dollars, so he must be doing something right."
This extension also means Jaxon will be able to pour into the community even more than he already has.
"More than the money, just to be here, and to continue giving back to the community, and being a part of a great community, and a great city is something that's very special," he said.
He added, "I think it's a special place and a place for growth. And me growing as a young man, I just fell in love with the city. I want the best for my community, especially if I'm going to lay my head here. So anything I can do to help, I will. And John just gave me some more opportunity to do so. So definitely appreciative of that and the city. I can feel the love here. So just want to repay it back."
