The Philadelphia Eagles are not letting go of promising wide receiver DeVonta Smith. The team announced Monday they've exercised the fifth-year option on Smith's rookie contract and signed him to a three-year contract extension to keep him wearing that midnight green uniform long-term.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the extension is worth $75 million with a whopping $51 million guaranteed. Including the fifth-year option, Smith's deal with the Eagles works out to a four-year, $90.5 million agreement.

Philadelphia now has quarterback Jalen Hurts and its starting wide receivers signed through the 2028 season. (New running back Saquon Barkley is signed through 2026 with his three-year deal.)

With the extension's average annual salary of $25 million, Smith matches teammate A.J. Brown with the fourth-highest salary among NFL wide receivers. Only Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams and Cooper Kupp make more per season at the position.
