Who Should I Start? Lil'Jordan Humphrey or John Metchie III

Tuesday, August 26, 1:19 PM

The New York Giants are releasing wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Humphrey will hit the open market despite going for six catches, 94 yard and a touchdown on eight targets during preseason action. The 27-year-old had career-highs in catches (31), targets (45) and receiving yards (293) while scoring one touchdown in 17 games (seven starts) in 2024 with the Denver Broncos. Humphrey originally went undrafted out of Texas before joining the New Orleans Saints and making his NFL debut in 2019. He has only 62 catches on 92 targets for 770 yards and seven touchdowns in 58 games (23 starts) in his six years in the NFL. It's possible that Humphrey could join New York's practice squad this year if he doesn't get scooped up by another organization looking for receiver depth.

The Houston Texans have traded wide receiver John Metchie III and a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for tight end Harrison Bryant and a 2026 fifth-round pick. Metchie, a former second-round pick, is entering his third season after missing his entire rookie year while battling leukemia. The 25-year-old receiver struggled to earn a consistent role in the Texans' passing game, finishing his time in Houston with 40 receptions for 412 yards and one touchdown in 29 games. Metchie will now look to earn a spot on the Eagles' depth chart behind wideouts A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Jahan Dotson.
