The Philadelphia Eagles are adding another wide receiver for Jalen Hurts to work with ahead of the season.
The Eagles struck a deal to land Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III on Sunday afternoon, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. In return, the Texans will receive tight end Harrison Bryant. The two teams will also swap future day three draft picks in the deal.

Metchie is entering his third season in the league. The 25-year-old, who the Texans took with the No. 44 overall pick in 2022 out of Alabama, had a career-high 254 yards and a touchdown on 24 catches last season in Houston.

Though Metchie won’t be the top guy in Philadelphia by any means, he should be a valuable addition for Hurts and the Eagles as they attempt to back up their Super Bowl run. The Eagles averaged just 187.9 receiving yards per game last season, which was better than only three other teams in the league while they largely relied on Saquon Barkley and their dominant run game — which trailed only the Baltimore Ravens in the same category. Metchie will join stars A.J. Brown, who had his third straight 1,000-yard season last year, and former Alabama teammate DeVonta Smith in Philadelphia. Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson are back this season, too, to round out the wide receivers room.
The move to deal Metchie isn’t too surprising considering the group that was sitting ahead of him on the depth chart — which included big names like Nico Collins, Christian Kirk and Jayden Higgins. The Texans will also get Bryant, who struck a one-year, $1.2 million deal with the Eagles earlier this year. Bryant, who the Cleveland Browns took in the fourth round of the 2020 draft out of Florida Atlantic, had 86 yards on nine catches in just 13 games last season with the Las Vegas Raiders while battling an ankle injury for a significant portion of the campaign.

The Texans made the playoffs for a second straight season last year, but they fell in the divisional round once again. They’ll open the season against the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 7. The Eagles will open the regular season on Sept. 4 when they host the Dallas Cowboys.

College Football Preview 2025: Florida State Seminoles
2024 Recap There’s no way around it: The 2024 season was a disaster for Florida State. After winning the ACC Championship in 2023 and finishing with a 13-1 record overall, the Seminoles entered 2024 as the No. 10 team in the preseason AP poll. But their brand new roster ultimately fell flat with just a 2-10 record, the program’s worst in 50 years. With pressure now mounting in Year 6, Mike Norvell brought in 23 transfers and coordinators Gus Malzahn (offense) and Tony White (defense). Those new faces should help the Seminoles at least reach bowl eligibility in 2025, but new quarterback Tommy Castellanos will determine the program’s true ceiling. Biggest Strength: What should be an improved offense… Florida State attacked the transfer portal this offseason to improve what was the Power Four’s third-worst offense by EPA per play. The […]

Cadillac se dohodl s prvním pilotem pro svou stáj F1
Spekulace o obsazení dvou nových jezdeckých míst ve formuli 1 se tak začínají měnit v realitu. Podle zahraničních médií dal Cadillac přednost Bottasovi před Sergiem Pérezem i dalšími kandidáty. Oficiální oznámení pětatřicetiletého Fina jako prvního závodního jezdce americké stáje v historii by mělo následovat příští týden.Bottas letos vynechává svůj první závodní rok po dvanácti po sobě jdoucích sezónách, během nichž působil ve Williamsu, Sauberu (respektive Alfě Romeo) a Mercedesu. V jeho barvách pomohl během pěti let k pěti titulům v Poháru konstruktérů.Po konci angažmá v Sauberu se vrátil do Mercedesu, kde zastává pozici rezervního jezdce. Opakovaně však uvedl, že mu pravidelné závodění chybí a jeho hlavní prioritou pro ročník 2026 je návrat za volant formule 1.Není zatím jasné, zda svou současnou roli v německé stáji opustí, nebo v ní setrvá až do konce roku. Jedno je však zřejmé – Cadillac chce ještě letos nasadit své jezdce do testování starších monopostů. Pravděpodobně k tomu využije dřívější modely […]
