Metchie, who was acquired Sunday from Houston, is close with DeVonta Smith from their time together at Alabama, and also has crossed paths with Jahan Dotson.

PHILADELPHIA - A day after officially being acquired in a trade from the Houston Texans, fourth-year receiver John Metchie was thrown into the deep end of the pool in his first practice with the Eagles.

Metchie, who's entering the final year of his rookie contract, was shipped off to Philadelphia for a 2026 fifth-round pick and tight end Harrison Bryant. The Eagles are regained their 2026 sixth-round pick from the C.J. Gardner-Johnson trade from March.

Hypothetical trades are always an intriguing idea to consider as the NFL season grows closer. The New Orleans Saints are hopeful in their first season under Kellen Moore, and making some moves to improve their roster and overall depth could be on the horizon.

Does the San Francisco 49ers interest in wide receiver John Metchie signal that the team will add a wide receiver soon?
