Eagles add another weapon for Jalen Hurts

The Philadelphia Eagles have strengthened their offense ahead of the upcoming NFL season, reaching an agreement to acquire wide receiver John Metchie from the Houston Texans.

In the deal, Houston will receive a fifth-round pick and tight end Harrison Bryant, while the Eagles pick up Metchie along with a sixth-round selection.

Metchie now joins the roster of the reigning Super Bowl LIX champions, who already boast elite receivers such as AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson. In Houston, the Canadian-born wideout also faced stiff competition from Nico Collins, Christian Kirk, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, Justin Watson, Xavier Hutchinson and Tank Dell.

Last season, Metchie posted 254 yards and a touchdown on 24 receptions. In 2023, he appeared in 16 games, finishing with 16 catches for 158 yards.
