Eagles hope to fill AJ Brown void with free agent signing of Wicks

The Philadelphia Eagles added receiver Dontayvion Wicks on a one-year deal worth $12.5 million in hopes of replacing AJ Brown, who was traded to the New England Patriots. Although rookie Makai Lemon is considered a potential star, NFL.com suggests Wicks might be more likely to step into the leading receiver role. Wicks brings vertical speed and experience and failed to fully develop in Green Bay but is seen as a good fit for Jalen Hurts' offense. The Eagles, losing a key player who had 1,000-plus yard seasons, are banking on Wicks for a breakout year.
