Eagles get receiver John Metchie III from Texans for tight end Harrison Bryant, AP source says
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the teams haven't announced the deal.
Metchie had 24 receptions for 254 yards and one touchdown last season. A second-round pick in 2022, Metchie missed his rookie season while being treated for leukemia.
Bryant had nine catches for 86 yards last season in Las Vegas. He spent his first four seasons in Cleveland. He averaged 22 receptions and 198 yards receiving per season with the Browns.
Metchie joins a deep receiving group on the reigning Super Bowl champions led by A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler? Saints QB choice in trouble either way
Yahoo Sports host Andrew Siciliano, senior NFL writer Frank Schwab and senior NFL reporter Charles Robinson discuss the only remaining open quarterback job in the league and why either choice by Kellen Moore won't do much to turn New Orleans around this season. View more Video Transcript There's only one job remaining. So let's tell you about that one job. It is the job quarterbacking the New Orleans Saints, and it's between Tyler Shuck, who as a second-round pick and an older quarterback, 26 years old when they drafted him, man, he just assumed he would easily get the job. However, don't discount Spencer Rattler, friends, because Spencer Rattler rallied them back to a tie with Jacksonville this week, had a touchdown and a two-point conversion. He's got a little moxie; he's got a foot in the system, he could play a little bit; certainly, if you thought he was the guy though, you wouldn't take Tyler Shuck at 26 years old in the second round. Shuck played four drives. Rattler played five drives. Some people say maybe they'll trade for Kenny Pickett. I would push back and go, Charles, why would the Saints trade for a veteran quarterback at all? Just pick one of these two guys, and I, I don't say, what does it matter? That sounds flippant and sarcastic and mean-spirited, but I don't think they're gonna win a lot of games with either. Let's just be blunt. They're closer to a drive-through window than a Super Bowl window. Just go with Shuck. Yeah, it's like he's, yeah, yeah, that's the thing. He's not a developmental guy. Like, if he doesn't play right away, what the heck did I, I've been saying all offseason: draft him. It makes no sense. Just take this thing, but I, I unfortunately drafted him. Yeah, you have to draft him; if he doesnt, I, I've watched every snap of Saints preseason football, unfortunately this year, and I could tell you, I probably think Rattler is the better choice right now, as sad as that sounds, but either way, this is a bad Andrew. I, you say the only team I haven't been positive about is the Browns. I will put the Saints in that category too. The Saints are going to be awful. Like Kellen Moore, I hope they have patience with him because they're gonna be bad, bad, bad. Frank, in our final minute, I read your entire column about, like, the whole wrap-up of the preseason. Thank you. It was a great cheat sheet as I was flying home from the one game that I saw in person. You watched them all. I get it. It's part of the job, but every snap of the Saints in the preseason, I deserve hazard pay, hazard pay. I'm gonna be putting in for that. Joey, if you're still listening, I'm, I'm putting in hazard pay. I haven't watched the Saints team. Oh, they're bad. Were you wearing a guardian cap? I was wearing a cap. Close
