With a month to go until free agency, the Philadelphia Eagles are going to be very particular about who they work with as buyers and sellers in the trade market.

Bleacher Report writer Alex Ballentine shared the one trade he wants each NFL team to make in the offseason. For the Eagles, Ballentine likes Philly trading a 2026 fourth-round pick to the Green Bay Packers for wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks.

"The Eagles don't have a ton of cap space so they might have to get a little creative to swing a trade that improves them. That being said, Howie Roseman is not a general manager known for sitting on his hands. Philadelphia's offense stalled out in key moments this season. Whether they keep A.J. Brown or not, they need more reliable weapons for Jalen Hurts in the passing game. With Sean Mannion coming in as the offensive coordinator, it would make a lot sense for Philadelphia to target a receiver familiar with the coach."

Eagles urged to trade for Dontayvion Wicks

Wicks would be an interesting option for the Eagles at wide receiver, as it would give them the serious threat receiver they need at WR3. During his three-year career, he has caught 108 passes for 1,328 yards and 11 touchdowns.

This deal would work well for the Eagles, as it would give them the number-three receiver they need or a potential replacement should A.J. Brown be traded in the offseason. It helps the Eagles' new offensive coordinator, Sean Mannion, as he was an assistant for two years in Green Bay, so Wicks will know the kind of offense he wants to run in Philly.

If the Eagles only have to get rid of a fourth-round pick for a receiver that could be an instant starter on the team, it's a deal that's worth it for them to make.
