Philadelphia lands John Metchie III from Houston for Harrison Bryant and a 2026 fifth-round pick, while Houston picks up a 2026 sixth-rounder in a reacquisition of prior swap picks tied to C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s move. The deal deepens Philadelphia’s receiver room behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Jahan Dotson, and shores up Houston’s tight end group after Brevin Jordan’s ACL injury, giving Dalton Schultz needed help behind him.

Metchie, a Alabama 2020 national champ and 2022 second-rounder who fought leukemia to return to action, adds speed and reliability as a depth option for Philadelphia. Bryant, a Browns fourth-round pick now moving to a third NFL stop in roughly 18 months, provides Houston with a reliable TE target behind Schultz. The exchange reflects teams valuing championship pedigree and backend depth, with implications for fantasy rosters where late-round and depth players could emerge as week-to-week contributors as the season unfolds.
