The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to sign DeVonta Smith to a long-term contract.

They recently signed Jordan Mailata to a lucrative extension.

Smith, 25, is currently under contract through 2024. The Eagles can exercise his fifth-year option for 2025 by May 2, but the two sides have kicked off behind-the-scenes talks on a new deal, according to a report.

There is "general optimism" that an extension "will materialize in the near future."
