Reports: Eagles acquire WR Dontayvion Wicks from Packers for two picks

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers for two draft picks, according to multiple reports on Friday.

The Packers lightened a crowded receiver room and received a fifth-round pick — originally owned by the Atlanta Falcons — in the NFL draft that begins April 23 as well as a sixth-round selection in 2027, per the reports.

Wicks, 24, has one year remaining on his rookie deal but will be under contract through the 2027 season after reportedly agreeing to a one-year, $12.5 million extension with Philadelphia.

Green Bay selected Wicks in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Virginia.

Wicks played in 14 regular-season games last season (seven starts) and caught 30 of 46 targets for 332 yards and two touchdowns. He was in on 47% of the offensive snap counts (408), down from 54% (586) in 17 games in 2024.

For his career, Wicks has 108 receptions on 180 targets for 11 touchdowns in 46 regular-season games (18 starts) and four receptions on 10 targets for 64 yards and one TD in three playoff games (all starts).

The Packers still have receivers Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, 2025 first-round pick Matthew Golden and free-agent signee Skyy Moore.

The Eagles have A.J. Brown, 28, a three-time Pro Bowl wideout who has been regarded as a trade candidate for months.

Philadelphia also boasts DeVonta Smith and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown. The latter signed a one-year free-agent contract in March.

Eagles GM sticks to same script on A.J. Brown saga

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman stuck to the script when asked about the ongoing trade rumors surrounding star receiver A.J. Brown.

“I understand that there’s interest in the A.J. Brown story. I, unfortunately, don’t have a home under a rock,” he told reporters Sunday at the league meetings in Phoenix.

“But my answer to any question on A.J. Brown is A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles. From my perspective, anything you ask me about A.J. Brown, I’m going to go right back to that answer. But I understand the interest. I put on TV and I see that there’s interest, but my answer is A.J. Brown is a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.”

Roseman gave a similarly guarded statement in January when asked about Philadelphia’s plans for Brown, whose frustrations with the offense have been well documented over the past couple of seasons.

“It is hard to find great players in the NFL, and A.J. is a great player,” Roseman said two months ago. “I think from my perspective, that’s what we’re going out and looking for when we go out here in free agency, in the draft, just trying to find great players who love football, and he’s that guy.”

The Eagles are in no rush to deal Brown, who has been linked to the New England Patriots this offseason. Their dead cap hit for trading him before June 1 is more than $40 million, compared to about $20 million after that date.

Brown, 28, averaged 72.5 catches and 1,041 receiving yards in the past two seasons, compared to 97.0 and 1,476 in his first two seasons with Philadelphia from 2022-23.

Reports: Eagles re-sign OT Fred Johnson

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing back veteran offensive tackle Fred Johnson, NFL Network and The Athletic reported Tuesday.

Johnson will sign a one-year deal, according to NFL Network.

Johnson has appeared in every game for each of the past three seasons with Philadelphia, and he made six starts in 2024 and eight in 2025 as the starting O-line dealt with injuries.

Though he actually left the Eagles in 2025 and signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Johnson was traded back to the Eagles in August.

The 28-year-old began his career with the Cincinnati Bengals (2019-21) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2022).

Falcons acquire S Sydney Brown from Eagles

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Atlanta Falcons acquired safety Sydney Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles in an exchange of draft picks, both teams announced Saturday.

The teams swapped fourth- and sixth-round picks in next month’s draft. The Eagles get picks Nos. 114 and 197 and the Falcons receive Nos. 122 and 215.

Brown, who celebrated his 26th birthday on Saturday, was a third-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.

He played in all 17 games last season (three starts) and contributed 34 tackles. The Super Bowl LIX champion has 86 tackles, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) and two forced fumbles in 42 games (nine starts).

Brown became expendable when the Eagles re-signed safety Marcus Epps and signed former Pro Bowl safety J.T. Gray to reported one-year deals. The team also announced those moves on Saturday.

Reports: Eagles trade for veteran QB Andy Dalton

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Philadelphia Eagles are trading a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for journeyman quarterback Andy Dalton, according to multiple reports Wednesday.

With Jalen Hurts firmly in the starting role for the Eagles, Dalton is figured to battle for the backup position with Tanner McKee, who had drawn trade interest this offseason.

Dalton, 38, has served as a backup for Carolina for the past three seasons under starter Bryce Young. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals before having one year stints with the Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints.

In 179 games (169 starts), Dalton has thrown for 39,793 yards, 254 touchdowns and 151 interceptions with a career passer rating of 87.5. He has a career record of 84-83-2 and is a three-time Pro Bowl selection.

The trade will save the Panthers $2.1 million in salary cap space in 2026.

Former Eagles RB Boston Scott retires from NFL

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Boston Scott, a short and powerful running back who played six seasons for the Philadelphia Eagles, announced his retirement on Wednesday afternoon on social media.

Scott, 30, appeared in 75 regular-season games (12 starts) for the Eagles from 2018-23 and has been out of the NFL since early in the 2024 season. Listed at 5-foot-6 and 204 pounds, Scott had 302 rushing attempts for 1,295 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also caught 71 passes for 566 yards with one touchdown.

“I’m thankful for everything the game has given me and my family,” Scott said on his X account. “I’m thankful for the coaches, teammates, and staff throughout my career that believed in me even when it wasn’t popular.

“Looking back at my career, I’m just in awe of what God was able to accomplish, from a Walk-on who almost had to drop out of college to many years at the highest level, a lot of it doesn’t make sense and I believe that’s the point.”

Scott also returned 66 kickoffs for a 22.8-yard average, and six punts for a total of 43 yards.

New Orleans selected Scott in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Louisiana Tech. He was released at the end of training camp and signed to the team’s practice squad in September 2018, then released in December and signed the same day by the Eagles.

Scott was with the Eagles through 2023 and spent time in the Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers organizations leading up to the 2024 season. The Steelers placed him on practice squad injured reserve in September 2024 before releasing him later that month.

Reports: Eagles add WR Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is signing a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday.

The reported addition of one wide receiver with the last name of Brown comes as talks center about the possible departure of another in A.J. Brown. The Eagles also have DeVonta Smith, however the depth drops from there with Jahan Dotson, a returning-to-health Johnny Wilson and Darius Cooper in the wings.

Marquise Brown, 28, recorded 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games (six starts) last season with the Kansas City Chiefs.

NFL Network reported his deal with Philadelphia is worth up to $6.5 million.

He has 371 catches for 4,322 yards and 33 touchdowns in 90 career games (72 starts) with the Baltimore Ravens (2019-21), Arizona Cardinals (2022-23) and Chiefs (2024-25). The Ravens drafted him 25th overall in 2019.

Darius Slay: Cornerback | Years with Detroit: 2013–2019. He was a three-time Pro Bowler while with the Lions (2017–2019) and earned First-Team All-Pro honors in 2017 when he tied for the NFL lead with 8 interceptions and defended 26 passes. Known for his quickness, ball-hawking instincts and leadership in Detroit’s secondary, Slay became one of the most impactful defensive backs of his era for the franchise.

Six-time Pro Bowl CB Darius Slay announces retirement

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Former Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay Jr. announced his retirement in a social media post Monday.

The former second-round pick in 2013 was a six-time Pro Bowl selection in 13 NFL seasons.

“Dear football, I wanna thank you for all you’ve done for me,” Slay said in the caption of his announcement video on Instagram. “I’ve been blessed to play the game I loved since I was 5yrs old for an amazing 13yrs at the highest level. Football was my peace, my joy, my everything.

“This game put me in a position to help take care of my family and loved ones and I’m forever grateful. It’s hard to say goodbye, but God has a new chapter for me and I’m ready to turn the page and start my new journey.”

Slay, 35, made three Pro Bowls with both Detroit (2013-19) and Philadelphia (2021-24). The Eagles released him last March and he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, playing 10 games (nine starts) in 2025 before he was placed on waivers in early December.

The Buffalo Bills claimed Slay, but he elected to not report and instead sat out the remainder of the season.

In a clip he reposted on social media before announcing his retirement, Slay made it clear he only has one team he would consider playing for in 2026.

“No team can call me but Eagles. No team can call me, everybody knows,” Slay said.

Slay, a first-team All-Pro cornerback in 2017, finishes his professional career with 655 tackles, 28 interceptions (three he returned for touchdowns), 17 tackles for loss, 163 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries (two for touchdowns) in 187 games (176 starts).

Reports: Eagles bring back TE Dallas Goedert

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Eagles’ active leader in receptions will be back in Philadelphia in 2026, as the team reportedly signed tight end Dallas Goedert on Sunday.

Goedert, 31, will be returning on a one-year, $7 million contract, per terms acquired by ESPN.

The team’s active receptions leader with 409 over an eight-year run in Philadelphia, Goedert led the Eagles with 11 touchdown receptions while snatching 60 receptions for 591 yards a season ago.

The Eagles and Goedert had been working on a deal for several weeks, delaying his entrance into free agency in order to avoid a $20 million cap hit in dead money.

Philadelphia has been rumored to be shopping wide receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, and a deal with Goedert gives the team more flexibility to make a trade with Brown. A trade of Brown prior to June 1 would result in a cap hit of more than $40 million, though that number shrinks to about $20 million should a trade happen after that date.

Goedert agreed to a restructured deal a season ago, dropping his salary from $14 million to $10 million.

A former second-round pick, Goedert has amassed 4,676 receiving yard and 35 touchdowns over his career.
