The Houston Texans have shaken up their roster, sending wide receiver John Metchie III to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for tight end Harrison Bryant and a late-round pick swap. On today’s show, we break down why this trade makes sense for both sides, what Bryant brings to Houston’s tight end room, and why Metchie ended up being the odd man out in a crowded wide receiver group.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Texans will also receive a 2026 fifth-round pick while sending a 2026 sixth-rounder back to Philadelphia. We’ll also look at Bryant’s experience and fit behind Dalton Schultz, why Metchie never fully established himself in Houston, and how this move changes the Texans’ depth chart moving forward.
Be sure to watch the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein break it all down.
