The Philadelphia Eagles are staying active on the NFL trade market, something they have done often under the leadership of general manager Howie Roseman.
The Eagles acquired wide receiver John Metchie III from the Houston Texans on Sunday, per multiple reports.
Here's what to know about Metchie as he joins the reigning Super Bowl champions and looks to carve out a role in their receiving corps.
John Metchie trade details
Below is a look at the details of the Metchie trade, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Eagles receive: -
WR John Metchie
2026 sixth-round pick
Texans receive: -
TE Harrison Bryant
2026 fifth-round pick
Who is John Metchie?
Metchie, 25, was a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Texans. He missed his rookie campaign in 2024 while battling leukemia but played 29 games for Houston during the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
Metchie totaled 40 catches for 412 yards and one touchdown during his time with the Texans. That included career-best marks in catches (24), receiving yards (254) and touchdowns (1) in 2024.
Metchie never was able to carve out a sizable role with the Texans. He will look to earn a larger one with the Eagles.
