The Philadelphia Eagles acquired receiver John Metchie III from the Houston Texans on Sunday, according to multiple reports.
The Texans received tight end Harrison Bryant and a 2026 fifth-round pick in the deal. Houston also sent a sixth-round pick next season to the Eagles.
Metchie, 25, had 40 receptions for 412 yards and one touchdown in 29 games with Houston over the past two seasons. He was a second-round pick in the 2022 draft but missed that season due to a battle with leukemia.
Metchie played college football at Alabama and was a teammate with Philadelphia wideout DeVonta Smith with the Crimson Tide. Smith won the Heisman Trophy in 2020 when he and Metchie were the top two target on the school's national championship team.
Bryant, 27, has caught 98 passes for 877 yards and 10 touchdowns in 78 games (33 starts) over five seasons for the Cleveland Browns (2020-23) and Las Vegas Raiders. His career high for catches was 31 in 2022.
The Browns selected Bryant in the fourth round of the 2020 draft.
