Former Eagles president Joe Banner made headlines this week with comments about DeVonta Smith’s contract, suggesting the WR needs a new agent given the types of contracts other receivers — like Justin Jefferson, Jaylen Waddle — are getting compared to what he signed. He explained that the young WR should have waited for a bigger payday.
Devonta Smith should fire his agent unless he overruled the agents advice. He completely misread where market was headed and signed a deal before all these deals reset the market. What was the rush? Another smart deal by Eagles but can only happen if player and agent allow it.
