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

Green Bay is trading wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks to Philadelphia for a pair of Day 3 picks (2026 fifth-round and 2027 sixth-round) and is signing him to a one-year, $12.5 million 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. The move, aided by Wicks’ familiarity with Eagles OC Sean Mannion, signals potential plans if A.J. Brown is traded after June 1 and could position Wicks as a potential No. 2 receiver behind DeVonta Smith.

Dexter Lawrence Trade Window: Which Teams Could Land the Giants' Star DT?

Giants DT Dexter Lawrence has requested a trade to push for a contract extension, but New York isn’t forced to move him and views him as a potential foundation piece. If an offer is too rich, a deal could happen; several teams with cap space and a need at defensive tackle have been linked as plausible suitors (Chargers, Jaguars, Bears, Raiders, Panthers, Patriots). Expected compensation is generally seen as late first- to early second-round picks, possibly wrapped into a larger package with players or salary relief. Any transfer would likely hinge on Lawrence agreeing to a new deal and the Giants evaluating how to balance short-term competitiveness with long-term cap flexibility.

Steelers Weigh Queen Trade as Falcons Probe Market Ahead of Draft

The Steelers are weighing a Patrick Queen trade after a reported inquiry from the Falcons, but a tepid market and Pittsburgh’s surplus draft capital make a deal uncertain. Trading Queen would save roughly $11 million against the cap, yet Pittsburgh appears inclined to keep him unless a compelling offer emerges as they shape the roster for 2026.

Broncos Bet Big on Jaylen Waddle in Aggressive Trade

Denver acquired WR Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins in a deadline-era deal, sending a 2026 first-round pick plus third- and fourth-round picks in exchange and committing $68.6 million over three years (about $23 million per year). The move, paired with Bo Nix on a rookie contract, could unlock Denver’s offense as they navigate roughly $19 million in cap space. The trade continues Denver’s pattern of trading high draft capital for impact players (adding to notable past moves involving Elway, Zimmerman, Russell Wilson, and Sean Payton), with Waddle’s arrival potentially elevating the rest of the skill group.

Waddle Trade Tightens WR Market, Tests Patriots’ A.J. Brown Chase

The Dolphins traded Jaylen Waddle to the Broncos for a package of first- and third-round picks plus a fourth, fueling a hot NFL wide receiver market and signaling steeper asks for a true WR1 like A.J. Brown. The Patriots, having reshaped their receiving corps this offseason, are watching the market closely and may need to meet high price points to land Brown, though they have not yet done so.

Ravens back out on Crosby trade after medical review flags concerns

A proposed deal would have sent Maxx Crosby from the Raiders to the Ravens in return for two first‑round picks, but Baltimore backed out after medical staff flagged concerns from Crosby’s meniscus repair; the conservative approach by team doctors in player evaluations is common and can derail high-stakes trades, a pattern echoed in past NFL and other sports dealings.

Crosby swapped to Ravens for two first-round picks

The Raiders have agreed to trade edge rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for two first-round picks (2026 and 2027), with the 2026 pick currently 14th overall. The Raiders pursued a bigger package but settled for the two-first-round deal as Crosby had effectively moved on from Las Vegas. A contract extension or rework for Crosby may be discussed by Baltimore, given his recent status as the NFL’s top-paid non-quarterback; the deal is expected to become official by 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
