Happy Week 0! College football begins in five days and I, for one, can’t wait.

NFL

Eagles receive:
WR John Metchie
2026 sixth-round pick

Texans receive:
TE Harrison Bryant
2026 fifth-round pick

Howie Roseman is going back to the well. Last year, the Eagles traded for an early-round reclamation project at receiver in Jahan Dotson. That transaction led to scattered results, though the 2022 first-round pick was the No. 3 wideout for the Super Bowl champions.

Expect less of a role in Philadelphia for Metchie. The 2022 second rounder missed his rookie season, and has recorded just 412 receiving yards in his career. As an end-of-roster wide receiver that didn’t help contribute on special teams, Metchie no longer had a spot in Houston.

Bryant, in wake of Brevin Jordan’s season-ending injury, likely will. The 27-year-old is a clear backup, but should combine with Cade Stover to handle ancillary snaps for the Texans at tight end.

Bryant posted nine receptions for 86 yards last season with the Raiders.

Eagles Grade: B

Texans Grade: B
