DeVonta Smith and the Philadelphia Eagles have finalized a new contract extension, solidifying his position with the team through the 2028 season. The Eagles announced the deal on Monday, following reports of ongoing negotiations for a long-term contract.
As part of the agreement, the Eagles have exercised Smith’s fifth-year option for the 2025 season, ensuring his presence in Philadelphia for the next five years. The three-year extension is valued at $75 million, averaging $25 million annually.
This places Smith among the league’s top-paid wide receivers, sharing the same per-year earnings as A.J. Brown, who joined the Eagles via trade in 2022. The extension also includes $51 million in guaranteed money, underscoring the team’s commitment to the talented receiver.
