The Texans traded one of their own on Sunday afternoon, sending wide receiver John Metchie III—and a 2026 sixth-round pick—to the Eagles in exchange for tight end Harrison Bryant and a 2026 fifth-round pick.
Metchie, 24, was drafted by Houston out of Alabama in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. The former Crimson Tide star was diagnosed with leukemia ahead of his rookie season, but has since come back strong. In 2024, he tallied career highs in catches (24) and yards (257).
