In addition, the Eagles are reportedly signing Wicks to a one-year, $12.5 million extension that will put him under contract through 2027.
Wicks is heading into his fourth year in the NFL and has 46 games of experience — and saw about 50 percent of the offensive snaps in those games. At 6-foot-1, 206 pounds, the 24-year-old receiver recorded 108 receptions for 1,328 yards and 11 touchdowns through his three seasons with the Packers.
He is just the latest addition to the Eagles’ WR room, joining Hollywood Brown, and thi move will only fan the flames of a future A.J. Brown trade. The move could also signal that the team is not planning to use a high draft pick on a rookie wide receiver, as some were speculating just weeks ahead of the event.

Bringing in Wicks gives the Eagles some added depth and experience. Plus he has familiarity with new Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, who spent the last two seasons on the Packers’ coaching staff.
