The Philadelphia Eagles have moved to keep wide receiver DeVonta Smith through the 2028 NFL season.

On Monday, the Eagles announced they had exercised their option for a fifth season on the former Alabama All-American’s rookie contract and agreed to terms with Smith on a three-year contract extension.

Smith won the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award for the 2020 season, when he helped the Crimson Tide post an undefeated record and win the CFP national championship.

Philadelphia traded up to select Smith with the No. 10 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Like all first-round draft picks, Smith’s four-year, $20.141 million rookie contract carried a team option for a fifth season, which the Eagles had to use by May 2. By picking the option, the Eagles guaranteed Smith a payday of $15.591 million for the 2025 season.

Smith had 81 receptions for 1,066 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 regular-season games in 2023, then caught eight passes for 148 yards in Philadelphia’s 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round of the NFC playoffs.

Smith has 240 receptions for 3,178 yards and 19 touchdowns in 50 regular-season games. He also has 27 receptions for 405 yards and one touchdown in five postseason games.

Smith has more receptions and more receiving yards than any other Philadelphia player has compiled in his first three seasons in the NFL.

Smith surpassed the 225 receptions that former Madison Academy standout Jordan Matthews made for the Eagles from 2014 through 2016 and the 3,124 receiving yards that DeSean Jackson had for Philadelphia from 2008 through 2010.
