Multiple sources reported Friday that the Philadelphia Eagles have obtained wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks through a trade with the Green Bay Packers involving two draft selections.
Green Bay reduced their deep receiving corps in exchange for a fifth-round draft choice initially belonging to Atlanta, plus a 2027 sixth-round selection, according to the reports. The upcoming NFL draft is scheduled to begin April 23.
The 24-year-old player has one season left on his initial contract but will remain with Philadelphia through 2027 after reportedly signing a one-year extension valued at $12.5 million.
The Packers chose Wicks during the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft from the University of Virginia.
During the most recent season, Wicks appeared in 14 regular-season contests with seven starting assignments, recording 30 catches on 46 attempts for 332 yards and two scores. His offensive participation rate was 47% with 408 snaps, a decrease from his 54% rate and 586 snaps across 17 games in 2024.
Throughout his professional career, Wicks has accumulated 108 catches on 180 attempts with 11 touchdowns over 46 regular-season appearances, including 18 starts. In postseason play, he has four receptions on 10 attempts for 64 yards and one touchdown across three games, all as a starter.
Green Bay’s remaining receiver group includes Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, 2025 first-round selection Matthew Golden, and newly signed free agent Skyy Moore.
Philadelphia’s receiving unit features A.J. Brown, the 28-year-old three-time Pro Bowl selection who has been mentioned in trade speculation for several months.
The Eagles also feature DeVanta Smith and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown on their roster, with the latter joining the team on a one-year free-agent deal signed in March.
