Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This Stone Smartt deal represents a legitimate steal for Philadelphia, earning an A- CVI grade that reflects exceptional value at the tight end position. The Eagles secured a depth piece for just $0.8M annually through 2026, which is essentially minimum wage territory that carries virtually zero financial risk while providing meaningful roster flexibility. At that price point, Smartt doesn't need to be anything more than a competent third tight end who can contribute on special teams and step up when injuries inevitably hit the position group. The two-year term gives the organization time to properly evaluate his development trajectory without any meaningful dead money concerns, making this the type of low-cost flier that championship-caliber front offices routinely nail. Philadelphia's tight end room gets deeper without sacrificing any salary cap flexibility, and if Smartt exceeds expectations as a pass-catcher or blocker, this contract will look even more brilliant in hindsight.

Performance Analysis

Stone Smartt's F grade with the Eagles reflects a tight end who has been unable to make an impact in Philadelphia's loaded offense. The young pass catcher has the physical profile to compete at the position, but the production hasn't materialized. His F grade captures a player who is behind multiple options on the depth chart and hasn't done enough to change that pecking order. Philadelphia's offense has so many established weapons that breaking through as a young tight end is extremely difficult. Smartt's blocking and receiving both need improvement before he can earn meaningful playing time. He's a developmental piece on a roster that doesn't have much patience for development.

Fan Sentiment

A low-risk camp body addition that adds depth to an already crowded Eagles tight end room. Five headlines covered the signing, noting Smartt's conversion from quarterback to tight end. The key signal is Philadelphia's TE room expansion, suggesting Smartt is competing for a roster fringe spot. Fans remember Smartt's crushing hit on a Giants player, giving this signing some social media buzz. He's a long shot to make the 53-man roster but offers special teams upside.
