DeVonta Smith and his representation could have waited patiently to see the new contracts that will soon be coming for co-star NFL receivers Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase, Brandon Aiyuk, and even Jaylen Waddle.
Instead, the Philadelphia Eagles receiver gladly took what the team offered, and why not?

A contract that will pay him $25 million per season for the next three years with $51M guaranteed is a good deal, one well-earned by Smith. The extension was agreed to as the Eagles began Phase One of their offseason program on Monday and will keep Smith with the Eagles through 2028 because Philly also picked up his team option for 2025, which is expected to pay him upwards of $16M.
Smith is one of the best receivers in the NFL, even if he gets overshadowed a bit on his own team with the brilliant presence of A.J. Brown, and the Eagles rewarded that.

Smith has been equally brilliant as Brown since entering the league in 2021. In three seasons, he has made 240 catches for 3,178 yards and 19 touchdowns. In the playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this year, Smith was the only player to show up, making eight catches for 148 yards.
