The Philadelphia Eagles acquired wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers for two draft picks, according to multiple reports on Friday.
The Packers lightened a crowded receiver room and received a fifth-round pick -- originally owned by the Atlanta Falcons -- in the NFL draft that begins April 23 as well as a sixth-round selection in 2027, per the reports.
Wicks, 24, has one year remaining on his rookie deal but will be under contract through the 2027 season after reportedly agreeing to a one-year, $12.5 million extension with Philadelphia.
Green Bay selected Wicks in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Virginia.
Wicks played in 14 regular-season games last season (seven starts) and caught 30 of 46 targets for 332 yards and two touchdowns. He was in on 47% of the offensive snap counts (408), down from 54% (586) in 17 games in 2024.
For his career, Wicks has 108 receptions on 180 targets for 11 touchdowns in 46 regular-season games (18 starts) and four receptions on 10 targets for 64 yards and one TD in three playoff games (all starts).
The Packers still have receivers Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, 2025 first-round pick Matthew Golden and free-agent signee Skyy Moore.
The Eagles have A.J. Brown, 28, a three-time Pro Bowl wideout who has been regarded as a trade candidate for months.
Philadelphia also boasts DeVonta Smith and Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown. The latter signed a one-year free-agent contract in March.
