Eagles, Texans' Updated Salary Caps, Depth Charts After Reported John Metchie Trade

The Philadelphia Eagles reportedly bolstered the team's receiving corps on Sunday.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Philadelphia acquired wide receiver John Metchie III in a trade with the Houston Texans.

Both teams swapped future Day 3 draft picks and Houston received tight end Harrison Bryant in the swap, per ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime.

The Eagles entered the day with just over $30 million in cap space, via Over the Cap. That total should drop down to roughly $28.6 million when factoring in Metchie's $2.57 million cap number as well as the departure of Bryant and his $1.2 million cap charge in 2025.

Meanwhile, the Texans had $14.7 million in cap space prior to the deal and should now have just over $16 million in cap flexibility following the trade.

The Eagles will be utilizing Metchie as a depth piece in their passing attack, as the former second-round pick is coming off a 2024 season in which he hauled in 24 receptions for 254 yards and one touchdown.

He'll be reuniting with star wide receiver DeVonta Smith in Philadelphia, as the pair were previously college teammates at Alabama.

As for Bryant, he's caught 98 passes for 877 yards and 10 touchdowns throughout his career. The 27-year-old has amassed a mere 167 receiving yards over the past two seasons, though.
