Howie Roseman pulls a fast one on NFC rival by stealing John Metchie away

If Philadelphia Eagles fans listen closely, they might still hear the echoes of San Francisco 49ers fans still complaining about the 2023 NFC Championship game. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman was able to pick up another win for the Eagles over the 49ers off the field.

On Sunday, the Eagles executed a trade with the Houston Texans, as both sides swapped Day 3 draft picks. Philadelphia acquired wide receiver John Metchie, while Houston received tight end Harrison Bryant. The Eagles once again getting another great pass target isn't the best part of the deal.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz added that the San Francisco 49ers were also in the running to get Metchie, but Roseman worked his magic and made the Texans an offer they couldn't refuse.
