The Eagles acquired wide receiver John Metchie in a trade with the Texans last week, and Metchie said today that he's eager to find a way to make the best team in the NFL even better.

Two of his bigger swings recently involved adding Jakorian Bennett after most of the East Coast went to bed and executing a trade that no one saw coming. Who would have thought? John Metchie was a 2022 second-round NFL Draft choice whom Philadelphia added by swapping players and draft compensation with the AFC South's Houston Texans.

Bryant held to form, mentioning some complimentary things about the new Eagles acquisition, John Metchie, as he defended Philadelphia's new wideout from the disrespectful theories of an overzealous NFL fan.
