The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> and Houston Texans<\/a> have agreed to a trade that sends wide receiver John Metchie III<\/a> and a 2026 sixth-round pick from Houston to Philadelphia in exchange for tight end Harrison Bryant<\/a> and a 2026 fifth-round pick,\u00a0according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero<\/a>. The pick swap is a reacquisition of the picks that the two teams swapped earlier this offseason in a trade that sent safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson from Philadelphia to Houston.<\/p>\n The Texans’ acquisition of Bryant comes nearly a week after a void was created in their tight ends room when Brevin Jordan<\/a> tore his ACL, addressing the team’s need for depth at that position behind Dalton Schultz<\/a>. Meanwhile, the Eagles’ acquisition of Metchie continues their M.O. of adding players from championship teams, as Metchie was teammates with Eagles star DeVonta Smith<\/a> on Alabama’s 2020 team that won the national championship.<\/p>\n Metchie, 24, went on to be a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft<\/a>, but his early pro career was derailed when he was forced to miss his entire rookie season after being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Metchie recovered and has played in a reserve role over the past two seasons, catching a combined 40 passes for 415 yards and one touchdown. Metchie will provide depth for Philadelphia behind the top three of A.J. Brown<\/a>, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bryant, meanwhile, is a former fourth-round pick by the Browns<\/a> in the 2020 Draft and will now be on his third team in the past year and a half. Bryant, who has 89 career receptions for 791 yards and 10 touchdowns, spent his first four seasons in Cleveland before playing for the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n The 27-year-old caught just nine passes for 86 yards for the Raiders after signing a one-year deal with the team. In March, the Eagles brought him in on another one-year pact, but now he’s heading to Houston instead. He was competing to be the Eagles’ third tight end and now has a clearer path to a roster spot with the Texans.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images The Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans have agreed to a trade that sends wide receiver John…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":154151,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[69594,5229,81185,1544,90094,69598,74245,2505,78870,81182,535,1232,1448,2830,1311,1105,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-154150","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-a-j-brown","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-brevin-jordan","11":"tag-cleveland-browns","12":"tag-dalton-schultz","13":"tag-devonta-smith","14":"tag-harrison-bryant","15":"tag-houston-texans","16":"tag-jahan-dotson","17":"tag-john-metchie-iii","18":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","19":"tag-nfl","20":"tag-pa","21":"tag-pennsylvania","22":"tag-philadelphia","23":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","24":"tag-united-states","25":"tag-united-states-of-america","26":"tag-unitedstates","27":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","28":"tag-us","29":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115046414168230171","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
