Wicks is the second receiver leaving Green Bay this offseason after Romeo Doubs signed a four-year, $68 million contract with the New England Patriots after free company opened in March. He was expendable due to the Packers’ huge receiver room, which affords Jordan Love loads of choices in Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Bo Melton, Skyy Moore and Savion Williams, together with tight ends Tucker Craft and Luke Musgrave.
Wicks was chosen within the fifth spherical of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Packers out of Virginia. In three seasons with the Packers he caught 108 passes for 1,328 yards and 11 touchdowns.
