dailyloe.com – Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith addressed speculation surrounding a potential trade of A.J. Brown.
Smith remained composed when asked about Brown’s expected exit before a recent celebrity softball game.
He stated, ‘I got a job to do so I plan to go out there and do that,’ without commenting on Brown’s status.
Smith’s approach to the offseason drama has garnered praise from fans and analysts alike.
His decision to avoid controversy sets a strong example for dealing with media speculation.
Fans on social media expressed their admiration for Smith’s professionalism.
One user remarked, ‘And this is why I love DeVonta — avoids controversy, does his job.’
Another fan noted, ‘True professional,’ highlighting Smith’s commitment to the game.
If A.J. Brown is traded, Smith could become the Eagles’ primary wide receiver for the first time.
This change could lead to a significant contract extension for Smith if he performs well.
Smith signed a 3-year, $75 million contract extension before the 2024 season.
His contract is set to pay him $14 million in 2026 and $22 million each in 2027 and 2028.
The Eagles may consider a new extension for Smith if he delivers an All-Pro season.
Smith was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft and had his third 1,000-yard receiving season in 2025.
