Dontayvion Wicks #13 of the Green Bay Packers completes a catch prior to an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lambeau Field on November 10, 2025 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

The Eagles are adding to their wide receiver room.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia acquired Dontayvion Wicks from the Packers in exchange for the Falcons\u2019 2026 fifth-round pick and their own 2027 sixth-round pick, according to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wicks, 24, is signing a one-year, $12.5 million extension with the franchise as well, Schefter added.<\/p>\n

A fifth-round pick in 2023, Wicks spent the first three seasons of his NFL career in Green Bay, catching 108 passes for 1,328 yards with 11 touchdown catches.<\/p>\n

Last year, Wicks had 30 catches for 332 yards and two scores in 14 games.<\/p>\n

The addition comes as the A.J. Brown-Eagles saga is coming to a head.<\/p>\n

Amid endless trade rumors, Schefter added that a Brown trade \u201cwould likely occur after June 1, when the cap burden would be more manageable for the Eagles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Late last month, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman shut down any talk of a Brown deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand that there\u2019s interest in the A.J. Brown story. I, unfortunately, don\u2019t have a home under a rock,\u201d Roseman said. \u201cBut my answer to any question on A.J. Brown is A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles. From my perspective, anything you ask me about A.J. Brown, I\u2019m going to go right back to that answer. \u201c<\/p>\n

The Eagles have been busy adding pass-catchers this offseason, fueling speculation that Brown could be on the move.<\/p>\n

The franchise signed free agent wide receivers Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The trade marks another departure from the Packers\u2019 stable of wide receivers.<\/p>\n

Last month, Romeo Doubs left Green Bay for an $80 million deal with the Patriots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Already a position of depth, the Packers are left with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden as their top three receivers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dontayvion Wicks #13 of the Green Bay Packers completes a catch prior to an NFL football game against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":863645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2072],"tags":[8694,4191,1501,146,113,3992,6084,7,41,345,2514,2513,6670,1641,763,44,701,6,20223,428,208,109,3995,425],"class_list":{"0":"post-863644","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-green-bay-packers","8":"tag-a-j-brown","9":"tag-adam-schefter","10":"tag-christian-watson","11":"tag-detroit","12":"tag-detroit-lions","13":"tag-dontayvion-wicks","14":"tag-elijah-moore","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-green-bay","17":"tag-green-bay-packers","18":"tag-greenbay","19":"tag-greenbaypackers","20":"tag-hollywood-brown","21":"tag-howie-roseman","22":"tag-jayden-reed","23":"tag-lambeau-field","24":"tag-matthew-golden","25":"tag-nfl","26":"tag-nfl-football-game","27":"tag-packers","28":"tag-patriots","29":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","30":"tag-romeo-doubs","31":"tag-the-eagles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116383963156762467","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=863644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/863645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=863644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=863644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=863644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
