The Philadelphia Eagles are in talks with their 25-year-old offensive weapon about extending his contract.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ passing offense and receiving corps have improved since 2021. They finished 25th in yards and 28th in touchdowns in 2021, 9th in yards and 14th in touchdowns in 2022, and 16th in yards and 17th in touchdowns in 2023.
Two of their best receivers are under contract for at least another two years.
The best receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles is under contract until 2026.
Dallas Goedert signed a four-year, $57 million contract during the 2021 offseason and will be under contract until 2025, making him a free agent in 2026.
Their second-leading receiver is eligible for an extension because he finished his third season, and both parties have engaged in active contract negotiations.
The Philadelphia Eagles have started contract negotiations with their number two receiver.
DeVonta Smith has a fifth-year option worth $15.591 million for the 2025 season, which the Eagles have until May 2 to exercise or decline. It’s unknown whether the Eagles will exercise or decline his fifth-year option, as extending him is possible.
“The attention has shifted to one of their most key skill position players. The Eagles are working behind the scenes to make something happen with 25-year-old Smith. Contract talks are still ongoing, according to people familiar with the negotiations, and there is considerable hope that a deal will be reached soon.
McManus also claims that the Eagles do not have an imminent deadline and have a track record of signing players as quickly as possible since the cost will rise if they wait for a big-name player from another team to sign a contract.
The former tenth overall pick has enjoyed a promising start to his NFL career.
