Houston Texans Trade Metchie III at the Eagles of Philadelphia
The Houston Texans treated the wide receiver John Metchie III to the Eagles of Philadelphia, according to reports
In return, Houston receives the brought winger Harrison Bryant and a selection of fifth round, while sending Metchie and a selection of sixth round to Philadelphia.
This decision comes as the Texans seek to strengthen their tight -fed depth after Brevin Jordan suffered a knee injury at the end of the season last week.
Head coach Demeco Ryans found himself with only Dalton Schultz and the Cade Stover recruit as options of confidence in this position, making Bryant – a proven veteran – a precious addition.
Metchie, entering his fourth Nfl Season, recorded 40 catches for 412 yards and a touchdown in 29 career games.
Written in the second round in 2022, her career was delayed after missing her recruit year when she was under treatment for leukemia.
This pre-season, the 24-year-old leads the Houston receptors with six receptions for 53 yards, but had slipped to the fifth row on the painting of depths, behind Nico Collins, Christian Kirk and the Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel recruits.
Its lack of contribution from special teams has also reduced its value compared to players like Braxton Berrios.
In Philadelphia, Metchie will strengthen an already solid group of receivers with AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, Jahan Dotson and the recruit Johnny Wilson.
He found Smith, his former teammate from Alabama, with whom he won the 2020 national championship.
Bryant, meanwhile, brings six years of experience in the NFL, totaling 98 receptions for 877 yards and 10 affected.
