The Philadelphia Eagles have made their second trade in 12 days, continuing a busy summer for general manager Howie Roseman and the defending Super Bowl champions. This time, Philadelphia added depth at wide receiver, trading tight end Harrison Bryant to the Houston Texans in exchange for wide receiver John Metchie.
The Eagles acquired wide receiver John Metchie in a trade with the Texans last week, and Metchie said today that he's eager to find a way to make the best team in the NFL even better.
Metchie, a former national champion with the Alabama Crimson Tide, was a second-round draft pick of the Texans in 2022 and, after being diagnosed with leukemia ahead of his rookie season, tallied career highs in catches (24) and yards (257) in 2024.
