Eagles had one wide receiver that officially turndown contract extension for the first in……………

The Philadelphia Eagles may make it more challenging for the Dallas Cowboys to extend their contract with CeeDee Lamb.
The Eagles might make talks with CeeDee about an extension more difficult.
It was reported last week that CeeDee Lamb might not be able to play during offseason activities since he is reportedly in the middle of contract discussions with the Dallas Cowboys. That is a holdout in a benign form.

In terms of individual achievements, Lamb just finished the most statistically successful season in franchise history as a wide receiver. He is available for an extension again this summer, and it seems sense that since he declined to sign one last year, the terms of his new deal will be more generous.

This is the case due to Lamb’s performance from the previous season as well as possible future developments. It seems likely that one or more of the other prominent wide receivers, including Justin Jefferson, Jaylen Waddle, Brandon Aiyuk, and Ja’Marr Chase, who are all eligible for new contracts, will eventually sign, probably for at least $30 million annually (the amount that Lamb was anticipated to receive earlier this offseason).

The rules of supply and demand dictate that the four names we have listed have the potential to increase Lamb’s final number if they sign first, but a fifth name remains as a type of wildcard. Sadly, it’s a member of a squad that has demonstrated a lot of hostility.

The Philadelphia Eagles have demonstrated an exceptional capacity (sigh) to outbid the market on several transactions in recent memory. In other words, they know that paying early usually results in lower overall costs.

Following his MVP-caliber season in 2022, they paid quarterback Jalen Hurts during the previous offseason. Hurts was the first player to reach an AAV in the $50 million annual bracket; three other players surpassed this milestone in the months that followed. To bolster the argument even more, discussions currently seem to center around the $60 million annual area.

However, wide receivers, not quarterbacks, are the topic of discussion here, and the Eagles have one wide receiver who is qualified for a contract extension for the first time.

But how precisely could it accomplish that? Given that Lamb is a far more skilled player than Smith, whatever contract the latter decides to accept will eventually give Lamb negotiating leverage with the Cowboys. The Eagles are willing to spend more now in order to prevent having to pay more later, as previously said. If they place Smith anywhere close to a $30 million AAV, the Cowboys will need to make a large financial commitment for their own star wide out.

And the only person we are discussing here is DeVonta Smith. The price will only increase, as ESPN expressly pointed out, if and when the other receivers we listed sign new contracts. There might be discussions on whether
