NFL coach Nick Sirianni highlights shared qualities between wide receivers DeVonta Smith and John Metchie III of the Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles Make Moves Ahead of 2025 NFL Season
The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for the upcoming NFL season, and it appears they are ready to make some aggressive moves, according to an anonymous AFC General Manager, as reported by NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
In a significant move, the Eagles have traded for wide receiver John Metchie III from the Houston Texans. Metchie III, who previously played college football at the University of Alabama, is set to join starting quarterback Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' offensive line.
Sirianni, the head coach of the Eagles, has drawn comparisons between Metchie III and DeVonta Smith, another Alabama alumnus on the Eagles' roster. Sirianni has been a fan of Metchie III's game since his college days, noting the similarities in the way they finish plays with the ball.
Sirianni finds Metchie III quick and tough, qualities that he believes will add a new dimension to the Eagles' offensive strategy. He is excited about the things Metchie III can bring to the team, and believes he will be a valuable asset in the Eagles' bid to defend their 2024 Super Bowl title next season.
The Eagles have also traded tight end Harrison Bryant to the Texans as part of the deal. Additionally, the Eagles and Texans will swap Day 3 draft picks, indicating that the Eagles are not done making moves yet. An AFC GM expects the Eagles to make more trades in the coming weeks.
The Eagles have numerous draft picks for the upcoming year, and they are planning to use these to strengthen their roster further. The team already has several Alabama players on their roster, and it seems they are looking to build on this connection.
The tweet about the trade was posted by both Jordan Schultz and Eliot Shorr-Parks on August 20, 2025. The Eagles are clearly positioning themselves to make a strong challenge for the Super Bowl next season, and the acquisition of John Metchie III is a significant step in that direction.
