Wicks Steps Into Philly's Spotlight | Philadelphia Eagles News

The Eagles just pulled off a bold move, trading day-three draft picks for Dontayvion Wicks — a fourth-year receiver who’s never hit 400 catches or 600 yards but has the coaches’ faith. Sean Mannion and Ryan Mahaffey, who know him from Green Bay, see untapped potential. Now, Wicks steps into the slot opposite DeVonta Smith, a role once held by A.J. Brown. He’s locked in through 2027, embracing this “different opportunity” after his Philly playoff cut. In Green Bay, he led targets in one season and was third the next — proving he can be a focal point. With Smith, Goedert, and Barkley around, the Eagles believe Wicks will thrive in a system that opens things up for him. It’s a bet on growth — and Wicks is ready to deliver.
