After the Seattle Mariners' recent roster move, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is feeling right at home in Seattle, Washington. 

His brother Canaan Smith-Njigba was claimed off waivers by the Mariners, and now both will be In Seattle for the upcoming season. 

Jaxon is entering his second season in the NFL and is coming off a rookie year where he recorded 63 catches for 628 yards and four touchdowns. 

Canaan is coming off his second stint with the Pirates, his highest game total season at the major league level of the MLB with the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he appeared in 15 games. 

He will now enter spring training with the Mariners, where he will battle for a spot on their opening-day roster and will look to cement his spot in Seattle with his brother. If he can't earn a spot, he will still be close to his brother with their Triple-A affiliate, also being in Washington in Tacoma with the Tacoma Rainiers.
