The Philadelphia Eagles locked in wide receiver DeVonta Smith with a three-year contract extension on Monday.

Smith's new contract is worth $75 million with $51 million guaranteed and will keep him in Philly until 2028. 

It's safe to say that Smith's teammate, Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay, is extremely happy for him. 

"Big money Smitty.. yes sir congrats fam!!!!," Slay wrote on Twitter/X in response to a video of Smith dancing in the locker room. 

Slay has always been one of Smith's biggest fans and put some high expectations on the Eagles' No. 2 wide receiver ahead of the 2023 NFL season. 

“He got all the tools,” Slay said last August, via Reuben Frank of NBCSportsPhiladelphia.com. “I told him, ‘You know, it ain’t going to be too much longer we’re going to be saying Smitty the best receiver in the league,’ for sure. It ain’t gonna be too much longer.”

Smith's 2023 season wasn't as good as 2022, but he didn't disappoint as he finished the year reeling in 81 catches for 1,066 yards and seven touchdowns. 

In total, the former Eagles' No. 10 overall pick in 2021 has logged 240 catches for 3,178 yards and 19 touchdowns.
