Nolan Smith signs big rookie contract with Philadelphia Eagles

Nolan Smith and Jalen Carter have both signed their rookie deals with the Eagles

Former Georgia defensive end Nolan Smith signed his rookie contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia now has both of its first-round picks, Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith, signed.

Now, it is time for Smith, who was the No. 30 pick of the 2023 NFL draft, to get to work. Smith has an outstanding athletic profile that is very similar to that of Eagles star edge rusher Haason Reddick. Smith and Jalen Carter will be key pieces on Philadelphia’s elite front seven. The Eagles topped the NFL in sacks last season and made it to the Super Bowl.

Like the contract for every first round pick, the Eagles will have a fifth-year option for Smith. Smith’s four-year contract, worth an estimated $11.9 million, will keep him with several of his former Georgia teammates in Philadelphia for a few seasons.

Former Georgia defensive back Kelee Ringo remains the only Philadelphia rookie unsigned.
