Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has secured his future with the team after signing a three-year, $75 million extension.
The deal, which includes $51 million in guaranteed money, will keep Smith in Philadelphia through the 2024 season.
Smith, a former first-round pick from Alabama, has quickly established himself as a key player for the Eagles.
Despite concerns about his size, Smith has proven himself as a top performer, setting records for receptions and receiving yards in his first three seasons with the team. He has also shown versatility as both a deep threat and a catch-and-run specialist.
The decision to extend Smith’s contract comes at a strategic time for the Eagles, as they have rolled his fifth-year option into a long-term plan to keep him with the team.
This move ensures that Smith will not begin accounting for his $25 million per year salary until 2026, making him a valuable asset for the team in the years to come.
At just 25 years old, Smith has a bright future ahead of him in Philadelphia. With two impressive seasons already under his belt, all signs point to Smith continuing to excel and prove that he is worth the investment.
