Brown<\/a> despite the team’s recent acquisition<\/a> of Dontayvion Wicks<\/a> from the Green Bay Packers<\/a>.<\/p>\n “What do you think the odds are that I’m answering this question any different than I’ve answered anywhere else? Like really, do you think that’s 50%? Do you think that’s 75%?” Roseman said, when asked how the recent additions at receiver impact Brown. “A.J. Brown is an Eagle.”<\/p>\n That was Roseman’s go-to line at the league meetings<\/a> in Arizona when it came to Brown, who has been the subject of trade talks this offseason following a frustrating 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n The Eagles have been busy adding receivers, furthering the speculation. They signed veterans Hollywood Brown<\/a> and Elijah Moore<\/a> to one-year deals in free agency before sending a 2026 fifth-round pick and 2027 sixth-rounder to Green Bay for Wicks. They then gave Wicks a one-year, $12.5 million extension.<\/p>\n Wicks, 24, caught 30 passes for 332 yards and a pair of touchdowns this past season. Roseman said he is “a guy we’ve had our eye on here.”<\/p>\n New Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion was on Green Bay’s staff the past two years. His familiarity with Wicks made them all the more comfortable trading for him.<\/p>\n “You see his skill set. He is a physical, explosive player at the top of routes,” Roseman said. “He can play inside or out.”<\/p>\n Coach Nick Sirianni added that his “toughness really shows up on tape.”<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\nSpeaking Tuesday on his team’s recent moves — and increasingly crowded wide receiver room — Eagles GM Howie Roseman, left, said, “Nothing that we\u2019ve done up until this point will affect the evaluations we have on draft day.\u201d\u00a0Chris Szagola\/AP<\/p>\n
