With Wilson done for the season, the Eagles is expected to have at least six WRs on their 2025 depth card. That includes AJ Brown, Devonta Smith, Jahan Dotson, Ainias Smith, Darius Cooper and John Metchie.
This week the Eagles with the Houston Texans exchanged to acquire Metchie. The young WR was a college teammates with Eagles’ Devonta Smith and Landon Dickerson in Alabama.
