Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will head to Brazil in Week 1 to face off against the Green Bay Packers on Friday night. The 25-year-old signed a three-year, $75 million extension this past offseason and had rave reviews coming out of training camp. While he did not touch the field in the preseason, none of the Eagles starters did either, and Smith is entering his prime. The addition of Jahan Dotson in a trade from the division rival Commanders may add another mouth to feed but makes Smith that much tougher to cover with the like of A.J. Brown on the other side of the field and running back Saquon Barkley needing to be accounted for. The Eagles No. 2 receiver should be considered a high-end WR2 most weeks including the regular season opener against the Packers.
According to Philadelphia Eagles receivers coach Aaron Moorehead, wideout DeVonta Smith has been solid during training camp. "He's had as good of a camp that he's had probably since I've been here with him," said Moorehead recently. "His confidence is through the roof and he's continuing just to master his craft. He's getting in that good part of his career that as long as he's doing the things he's doing, he's going to be hard to cover." The 25-year-old inked a three-year, $75 million contract extension this offseason after posting back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and finding the end zone 14 times during that span. While the arrival of Saquon Barkley could jeopardize Smith's volume, there's no reason fantasy managers can't get another 1,000-yard campaign out of him in 2024-25.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith has agreed to a three-year $75 million contract extension that includes $51 million in guaranteed money. The organization also picked up his fifth-year option, so he is now under contract through the 2028 NFL season. Despite playing alongside All-Pro wideout A.J. Brown, Smith has been spectacular since entering the league in 2021. The former Heisman Trophy winner has racked up 240 receptions for 3,178 yards and 19 touchdowns through his first three pro campaigns. Smith is just 25 years old, so he should be in the thick of his prime through the duration of his new contract. He remains a WR2 in fantasy football moving forward.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith appears to be in the process of discussing a contract extension with the organization. The Eagles have already handed out two big extensions this offseason, so Smith could be next in line. The 25-year-old is entering his fourth season in the league after being drafted in the first-round by the Eagles in 2021. Smith has produced back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns. He has established himself as an elite wideout in the league and should see a hefty extension soon.
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith said earlier this month that he's not worried about a long-term contract extension this offseason. "It's all in God's hands," Smith said. "At the end of the day, extension or not, I'm going to have to come in and do what I have to do." The 25-year-old pass-catcher is now eligible for an extension after completing three seasons in the NFL. At the very least, the Eagles will pick up Smith's fifth-year option, which will take him through the 2025 season. The former 10th overall pick in 2021 out of Alabama has topped 1,000 receiving yards in each of the last two years and has gone for 3,178 yards and 19 touchdowns in his three years in the league. Smith has been durable, too, and his fantasy arrow continues to point up heading into 2024.
