He proved it has thus far been a non-issue.
Call me surprised by this fact. I thought DeVonta Smith would get broken in the NFL.
Dude was and still is so skinny, tough bastid though. Have to give him props. He has handled the NFL's physicality well even if the rules
make it much softer than in the past for WR's.

So, if I am correct, Smith will get:
2024 - 6.5 million (2025 - 16 million (they exercised 5th year option)
2026 - 25 million
2027 - 25 million
2028 - 25 million
Total is 97.5 million and of that a little more than 50% is guaranteed.
97.5 million divided by 5 years is less than 20 million per year.
They said extended for 3 years.
That actually isn't too bad when looking at it. I don't know if Tee would take it though, I bet we offered something similar, just not the
guaranteed money like DeVonta got. Tee hasn't been quite as good as DeVonta either or been as durable as Tecmo noted.
