Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade
hadn’t been announced.
The Packers will receive a fifth-round pick in this month’s NFL
draft and a 2027 sixth-round pick.
Wicks turns 25 in June and spent the last three seasons with the
Packers after they selected him in the fifth round of the 2023
draft.
He has 108 catches for 1,328 yards and 11 touchdowns in 46
career games.
The Eagles will enter the draft with A.J. Brown and DeVonta
Smith as their top receivers, and Wicks is expected to be in the
mix for the No. 3 spot with Hollywood Brown, Johnny Wilson and
Darius Cooper.
The trade could make Brown more expendable. The Eagles have
listened to offers for the three-time Pro Bowler. Brown had 78
catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns last season while
repeatedly expressing frustration over his role in the offense.
