How does Howie keep doing this? Metchie to Eagles.

[Pape]

We are talking about a 5th and 6th round pick swap and Harrison Bryant who had 9 catches last year? Granted that is more than Polk is worth, but that is still nearly a nothing trade. No reason to see anything in Metchie, the Eagles gave up close to nothing to get him.

Yeah, Houston wanted a TE because one of their guys tore his ACL...

That they flipped metchie shows that Houston thought of him as depth... Tank dell and nico Collins must be ready to roll this year

OMG I said not long ago the Texans and Bucs have the deepest WR's rosters. I was watching Metchie closely: we should have been on that. Watch him become a weapon with the Eagles...he will be an afterthought Receiver in that Offense.

He’s an afterthought everywhere.

Hollins is a much more accomplished NFL WR, had a sneaky effective year last year (the Buffalo fans loved him), has deep-threat abilities, is good blocking wideout and is a great locker room vet. Bourne may not be in their plans this year and you don’t want Diggs being the only seasoned vet mentoring a young WR crew. Sorry to break it to you, but he is set to play a prominent role in the offense, at least to start the season.

I don’t agree. Hollins is not effective. He caught just 31 passes in 721 snaps, playing 80% of the pass plays. That is terribly ineffective and it matches his career performance.
He is not a “deep threat”.
I don’t buy the claim that he is a great lockeroom vet, otherwise he would t be on his 5th team in 5 years. If he brought great value to the lockeroom his teams would keep him around.

While you may be right that he is set to play a prominent role, that would be a bad thing and a major miscalculation by the new staff.
Everyone is quite into defend thus guy with supposed intangibles but you aren’t doing your QB any favors starting a WR who is bad at getting open.

49ers??….healthy?? They may literally be the most injured team in the league right now besides the Chargers.

Aside from their G Puni and Aiyuk, I haven't seen anyone else that's a significant injury.

Aj: is that what you meant??

Looks like the 49ers wanted him. Trade Bourne back to SF.

The Pats have too many middle to the bottom of the roster WRs. They need a true #1. Metchie is the former, not the latter.
