Eagles' DeVonta Smith set for bigger role amid trade rumors
Summary

DeVonta Smith of the Philadelphia Eagles may step back into a primary wide receiver role if A.J. Brown is traded. Speculation around a post-June 1 trade suggests Smith could reclaim his position atop the depth chart. Despite not being the primary target since Brown's arrival, Smith remains a key component for the Eagles, having already won a Super Bowl. The Eagles have bolstered their wide receiver group with additional talent this offseason, setting the stage for Smith to potentially excel.
