Wicks heads east as Packers trade WR to Eagles for two Day 3 picks and a 12.5M extension

Wicks leaves a crowded Packers WR room amid a career-low 2025 season, while the Eagles add depth behind stars A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith ahead of the draft, continuing a recent pattern of pre-season receiver acquisitions.

Eagles Acquire Dontayvion Wicks, Sign One-Year Extension as Brown Trade Buzz Grows

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, with Wicks signing a one-year extension.

Brown is traded after June 1 and could position Wicks as a potential No. 2 receiver behind DeVonta Smith.

Draft Bargain Hunt: Five Contenders Bet on One-Year Fixes

With major free-agent signings behind them, five NFL contenders — the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, and Buffalo Bills — are hunting short-term upgrades on one-year deals while preparing for the draft, addressing holes at receiver, edge, and offensive/defensive line and hoping to stay under the compensatory-pick threshold to mount a championship run.

Rasheed Walker’s Free-Agent Status Could Rebalance the Packers’ Draft Odds

Rasheed Walker remains unsigned as the top left tackle candidate, with Schefter saying the market is thin and he’s likely to accept a one-year deal to re-enter free agency next year; this path could still affect Green Bay’s compensatory-pick outlook in 2027, depending on the deal’s value, as the Packers have three compensatory picks projected and have already signed St-Juste, Hargrave, and Skyy Moore.

Seahawks add running back Emanuel Wilson on a one-year deal

Running back Emanuel Wilson agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $2.1 million with the Seattle Seahawks after Green Bay did not tender him as a restricted free agent, giving Seattle backfield depth after Kenneth Walker III left for Kansas City and with Zach Charbonnet recovering from an injury. Wilson has appeared in 41 regular-season games for Green Bay over three seasons, with 1,083 rushing yards on 242 carries and seven touchdowns, plus 16 playoff carries for 45 yards; in 2025 he had a 107-yard game and an 82-yard game.

Packers fortify interior line with two-year, $23M Hargrave signing

Green Bay signed veteran defensive tackle Javon Hargrave to a two-year, $23 million deal to shore up the nose tackle spot, paying about $13 million this year with a likely 2027 team option for the remaining amount. Hargrave, 33, played for Minnesota in 2025 (52 tackles, 3.5 sacks in 15 starts) and has Pro Bowl seasons in 2021 and 2023. The contract preserves compensatory pick calculations since he’s a street free agent, and it adds a proven interior pressure presence aligned with Jonathan Gannon’s defensive scheme in Green Bay.

Dolphins Eye Romeo Doubs in Free-Agent WR Hunt

The Miami Dolphins have reportedly spoken with Green Bay Packers free-agent WR Romeo Doubs as they search to remake their receiving corps after parting with Tyreek Hill and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Doubs, who turns 26 in April, has career numbers of 202 receptions for 2,424 yards and 21 touchdowns in 60 games with the Packers, and he totaled 55 receptions for 724 yards and 6 TDs in 2025. If signed, he’d join Jaylen Waddle to form a potent Miami duo, with De’Von Achane at running back and Greg Dulchich at tight end. The article notes cap-space concerns for the Dolphins and mentions interest in Kendrick Bourne, plus the possibility of creative contract structures to keep immediate cap hits manageable, with a nod to Malik Willis’ controversial tie to Miami as context.
