when your yards per catch stays exactly the same from one season to the next (11.1), and your catch rate increases from 51.3% to 68.2%, that's a good thing... the Eagles gave him a one-year, $10.5 million contract extension with a max value of $12.5 million.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Wicks' improved catch rate (51.3% to 68.2%) and Mannion connection make him undervalued.

Acquired via trade from Green Bay, Wicks is an underrated receiver with strong efficiency metrics despite 2025 injury limitations (calf, ankle, concussion). His yards per catch remained constant at 11.1 YPC across 2024 and 2025, while his catch rate improved from 51.3% to 68.2%, indicating improved reliability. The Eagles signed him to a one-year, $10.5M base contract (max $12.5M) and he has an established relationship with new OC Sean Mannion and receivers coach Ryan Mahaffey from their Green Bay tenure.
