DeMeco Ryans said John Metchie's return from cancer was an inspiration to the team and predicts receiver will do well in Philadelphia.

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.

According to reports, the Houston Texans received a better offer from the Eagles, thus nixing a deal for John Metchie in the NFC West.

Derek Stingley Jr. is an All-Pro cornerback, but Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III might have made the play of training camp against him.

Braxton Berrios, Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie III are making it difficult on the coaching staff in choosing a final roster of six or seven receivers.

According to multiple reports, the Texans are sending Metchie to the defending Super Bowl champions in exchange for tight end Harrison Bryant and a 2026 fifth-round pick. The Eagles will also receive a 2026 sixth-round pick, which initially was sent over to Houston in the C.J. Gardner-Johnson deal earlier this offseason.
