Eagles acquire wide receiver Jahan Dotson from the Washington Commanders in a trade.
Why it matters: The addition of Dotson strengthens the Eagles' receiving corps and provides quarterback Jalen Hurts with another reliable target.
Dotson's stats:
What's new: The Eagles traded a third-round pick and two seventh-round picks in the 2025 draft to secure Dotson's services.
Yes, but: Dotson struggled to establish himself as Washington's No. 2 receiver opposite Terry McLaurin and was primarily effective in the slot.
Coach Dan Quinn on determining the No. 2 receiver: "Last week, coach Dan Quinn said the team was still trying to determine who the No. 2 receiver would be; the Commanders drafted Luke McCaffrey in the third round to fill a similar role. McCaffrey had a strong all-around game against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday with two catches for 30 yards in addition to his blocking and special teams play."
What to watch: The Eagles' receiving corps now features a mix of young talent and established players.
What's next: The Eagles will integrate Dotson into their offensive system and work on developing chemistry between him and Hurts.
The bottom line: The trade for Jahan Dotson bolsters the Eagles' receiving corps and provides Jalen Hurts with an additional weapon in their offensive arsenal.
