Eagles Acquire Jahan Dotson from Commanders

The Philadelphia Eagles have made a significant move by acquiring wide receiver Jahan Dotson from the Washington Commanders in an intra-division trade announced on Thursday. In exchange for Dotson, the Eagles will send a third-round pick and two seventh-round picks from the 2025 NFL Draft to the Commanders, along with receiving a fifth-round pick. Jahan Dotson, 24, was selected as the 16th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and has shown promise in his early career. In his rookie season, he recorded 523 yards and seven touchdowns on 35 receptions. Last season, Dotson continued to contribute with 49 catches for 518 yards and four touchdowns over 17 games. His addition to the Eagles' roster bolsters an already talented wide receiver group that includes A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. The Commanders, meanwhile, are preparing for the upcoming season with a diverse lineup of pass catchers, including Terry McLaurin and Olamide Zaccheaus. The team is also coming off a trade with the Cleveland Browns, where they acquired kicker Cade York in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick. As the Eagles gear up for their preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday, they are also looking ahead to their regular-season opener against the Green Bay Packers on September 6 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The trade marks a strategic move for both teams as they finalize their rosters for the upcoming season.
