Commanders trade former first-round WR Jahan Dotson to Eagles

As an alternative, the arrival of a brand new regime led by normal supervisor Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn spelled the top of Dotson’s time in Washington, the place he fell from an anticipated No. 2 position reverse star receiver Terry McLaurin to an expendable asset in a single summer season.

The chance of a commerce elevated over the course of the preseason, through which Daniels obtained his common work as a rookie beginning quarterback after which shortly exited whereas Dotson ended up enjoying deep into the second half of Washington’s first preseason recreation. In a typical preseason, entrenched contributors see minimal on-field time for his or her groups, until they should show themselves to a brand new employees. Dotson, although, ended up behind Dyami Brown within the Week 1 pecking order, and after enjoying a extra regular 23 snaps in Week 2, Washington determined now was the time to half methods with the Penn State product.

At 5-foot-11 and 182 kilos, Dotson was seen as a candidate to spend extra time within the slot in 2024 with Washington. In Philadelphia, the identical may be anticipated in a receiving corps that boasts fairly a high three in A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and probably Dotson. He’ll must stand up to hurry relatively shortly to earn a spot in Philadelphia’s offense earlier than Week 1, however the Eagles are clearly glad so as to add expertise at a discount fee — particularly from a division rival — at this level within the preseason.
