Two of his bigger swings recently involved adding Jakorian Bennett after most of the East Coast went to bed and executing a trade that no one saw coming. Who would have thought? John Metchie was a 2022 second-round NFL Draft choice whom Philadelphia added by swapping players and draft compensation with the AFC South's Houston Texans.

The Eagles’ 22-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Saturday appeared to aid some bubble players in their quests to land spots. Others still have more to prove before solidifying their places.

The Philadelphia Eagles are acquiring wide receiver John Metchie III from the Houston Texans, according to multiple reports. Metchie, a four-year veteran of the league, will be playing in only his third year of action after sitting out his rookie season.

Metchie caught five of eight targets for 45 yards while adding 23 yards on one kickoff return in Houston's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings in Week 1. Philadelphia officially announced the move on Monday, reuniting Metchie with DeVonta Smith and other former Alabama teammates.
