Wicks' outlook improved this April when the Eagles traded fifth- and sixth-round picks to acquire him, but optimism faded two weeks later when Philadelphia drafted fellow wideout Makai Lemon in the first round. A.J. Brown is off to New England, leaving Wicks, Lemon and Hollywood Brown to jostle for playing time alongside new No. 1 receiver DeVonta Smith. Working in Wicks' favor is the one-year, $12.5 million extension he signed, keeping him under contract through 2027 with most of the money guaranteed. It's a steep price for someone who was largely a backup during three seasons in Green Bay, struggling with drops and never breaking through despite some promising early indicators like a high target rate. Wicks' per-route production dropped when his playing time rose, and he now finds himself in a crowded offense with a diverse group of weapons at RB, WR and TE.
