Eagles eye contract extension for DeVonta Smith after AJ Brown trade
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles are considering an increased contract for DeVonta Smith following the trade of AJ Brown. Despite some opinions favoring Brown as the top receiver, many analysts believe Smith could excel with a larger role. Smith, currently among the lower-paid top receivers, may see a contract adjustment to reflect his expected contributions in upcoming seasons. The Eagles may aim to finalize a deal before Smith reaches free agency, ensuring long-term security for both parties.

I don't think it's crazy to say that the Philadelphia Eagles still have one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, even going as far as to say that they might have a top-eight receiver in the game with DeVonta Smith.
