Eagles Add Depth at Wide Receiver

Philadelphia announced Friday that it has traded for second‑year receiver Dontayvion Wicks, sending a 2026 fifth‑round pick (originally owned by Atlanta) and a 2027 sixth‑round pick to Green Bay. The move gives the Eagles a versatile slot‑receiver option after a modest 2023 season in which Wicks logged 30 catches for 332 yards and two touchdowns.

Contract Extension

Philadelphia simultaneously inked Wicks to a one‑year extension worth $12.5 million, keeping him under contract through the 2027 season. The deal reflects the Eagles’ belief that Wicks can contribute immediately, especially on third‑down routes.

Packers’ Calculus

Green Bay, whose wide‑receiver corps already features a “big three,” opted to move Wicks in order to acquire additional draft capital for depth at other positions. Wicks departs with 108 career receptions, 1,328 yards and 11 touchdowns over three campaigns, a production level that fit well in Green Bay’s rotation but did not guarantee a prominent role in 2026.

What Lies Ahead

The trade adds depth to an Eagles offense that has struggled with injuries at receiver, while the Packers gain flexibility to address needs elsewhere on the roster through the upcoming draft.
