Alix Earle reveals plans after boyfriend Braxton Berrios signs with Houston Texans
When wide receiver and return specialist Braxton Berrios signed with the Houston Texans in March, it wasn't just him who was going to have to relocate. His girlfriend, social media influencer and model Alix Earle, was naturally along for the ride. At Thursday's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Launch Party, Earle talked to People Magazine about how the couple is adjusting to southeast Texas and their plans for their first year in Houston. "I just recently got a pair of red cowboy boots because I was like, 'We have to wear this for a game'," Earle told People.

With Berrios leaving the Miami Dolphins to sign with the Texans, Earle said the couple wanted to find places where they could be comfortable in their new environment. "Date night spots are really important for Braxton and I — so finding our spots there, our restaurants, finding a coffee spot there was really important," she shared. Braxton Berrios' girlfriend, Alix Earle, revealed some of the couple's plans for Texas in an interview with People Magazine last week © Maggie Huber/Special to Courier Journal / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Earle also informed the magazine that this doesn't mean she is planning to relocate from Miami, but just set up a new spot in the Lone Star State to support her boyfriend. Advertisement In the same interview, she praised the new Texans utilityman for being supportive of her career, telling People Magazine, "He knows I have to travel and can't be with him all the time and he's so supportive of that... I feel like that's kind of hard to find in a guy sometimes." For Berrios, he joins a Texans wide receiver room that is crowded after leaving the Miami Dolphins. His main role on his new team will likely be on special teams as a return specialist. He missed most of last season after suffering a torn ACL during a Week 7 matchup but is trending towards a return for next season. If Berrios is healthy, he could play a big part in the Texans' trek for the franchise's first Super Bowl championship.

Texans wide receiver John Metchie III candidate for trade
With the NFL offseason in full swing, that means trade rumors are abundant and there are multiple Houston Texans that could be candidates for a new home. Bleacher Report's Matt Holder listed Texans' wide receiver John Metchie III as a wideout who could be moved in the lead-up to summer. Metchie was originally drafted by Houston in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, but had to miss his rookie season after being diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL). John Metchie III is a candidate to be traded according to Bleacher Report's Matt Holder© Troy Taormina-Imagn Images Holder said that Metchie could be a candidate to be traded in part because of how crowded the Texans' wide receiver room has gotten in recent years. The Texans have had multiple strong draft classes in a row and that has created a backlog of talent on the depth chart. Advertisement Since 2021, Houston has drafted Nico Collins (3rd round, 89th overall in 2021), Tank Dell (3rd round, 69th overall in 2023), Xavier Hutchinson (6th round, 202nd overall in 2023), Jayden Higgins (2nd round, 34th overall in 2025) and Jaylin Noel (3rd round, 79th overall in 2025). All of this leaves Metchie in an interesting position. Since returning to the gridiron during training camp in 2023, he has only collected 412 yards on 40 receptions and one touchdown. In that time, he has never played more than 50-percent of the offensive snaps for the Texans in a season. NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reported last August that teams had reached out to Houston regarding the shifty wide receiver after he impressed during the preseason, but a trade never materialized and he remained with the Texans. Advertisement The biggest part of this situation is that Metchie is entering a contract year. With little production from him in his first two seasons on the field and the overcrowding of the wideouts room, it's an easy guess that Metchie is a likely candidate to not return next season, barring a career year. If Houston is looking at moving on from him, they could ship him to another team where he would get more opportunities to prove himself.
