Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Eagles made a reasonable but unspectacular investment in Devonta Smith, locking up their solid starter receiver at market rate with this C+ CVI deal. At $25M AAV, Philadelphia is paying appropriate compensation for a player who has established himself as a reliable WR2 with occasional WR1 flashes, though the contract reflects more hope than proven elite production. Smith enters his prime years with room to grow into this deal, and his established chemistry with Jalen Hurts provides upside that could make this contract look shrewd if he takes the expected leap. The $34M in guarantees offers reasonable protection for both sides without creating crippling dead money exposure, giving the Eagles flexibility while ensuring Smith's security through the most productive years of his career. This represents solid roster management rather than a franchise-altering move — the Eagles identified their guy and paid him appropriately without breaking the bank or getting a steal.

Performance Analysis

DeVonta Smith earns a C+ for the Eagles at wide receiver, a grade that might surprise people given his talent and draft pedigree. Smith is one of the best route runners in the NFL — his ability to create separation with precision footwork is elite. He has been a reliable target for Philadelphia and has made countless clutch catches in important moments. The grade reflects some inconsistency and the reality that injuries have limited his explosiveness at times. When Smith is healthy and the ball is coming his way, he is as good as any receiver in the NFC. The Eagles need more consistent big-play production to push him back into elite territory.
