The Philadelphia Eagles made quite a splash on Sunday afternoon, trading for wide receiver John Metchie III from the Houston Texans.

Metchie, a former national champion with the Alabama Crimson Tide, was a second-round draft pick of the Texans in 2022 and, after being diagnosed with leukemia ahead of his rookie season, tallied career highs in catches (24) and yards (257) in 2024.

He now joins an Eagles team fresh off a Super Bowl LIX win over the Chiefs that's looking to repeat as champions in 2025. Here's a look at Philly's updated wide receiver room and depth chart following the addition of John Metchie III:
