Jets eye Eagles trade as draft strategy heats up

The Jets, owning picks 2 and 16 in the 2026 first round, may trade up or back as the draft nears. A recent Eagles move to acquire Dontayvion Wicks has Philly positioned to target a top receiver at 23, potentially triggering a Jets-Eagles deal that could net draft capital — including possible 2027 picks and a 2026 third-rounder — while the Jets weigh adding playmakers for a year they aren’t expected to contend in. Prospects like Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, and Jordyn Tyson could influence any trade talks.

Packers trade Wicks to Eagles, gain cap space and extra draft picks

Green Bay traded wideout Dontayvion Wicks to Philadelphia for a 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 153) and a 2027 sixth-rounder, plus Wicks’s one-year extension with the Eagles through 2027. The move creates about $2.6 million in salary-cap space (roughly $25 million now) and frees up room to extend players like Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, or Tucker Kraft. Wicks’ 2025 production was modest (30 receptions, 332 yards, 2 TDs), though he had a standout Thanksgiving game against Detroit. With Wicks out, Matthew Golden’s opportunities should rise in Year 2, and Green Bay adds eight picks this year (one each in the second, third, fourth, sixth rounds and two in the fifth and seventh rounds) plus a 2027 sixth-rounder, strengthening Gutekunst’s draft capital while leaving no current first-round pick due to past trades.

Brown and DeVonta Smith ahead of the draft, continuing a recent pattern of pre-season receiver acquisitions.

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.
