The Washington Commanders trade with the Philadelphia Eagles didn't grade out well looking back.
The Washington Commanders traded former first-round pick Jahan Dotson to the Philadelphia Eagles after some speculation that the 2022 first-round pick might not be in the DMV when the regular season kicked off.
Dotson had a promising first season with Washington, but he regressed in year two with Sam Howell under center. Now, with Jayden Daniels taking over at the quarterback position, the wide receivers are going to have a chance to take a step forward, though Dotson seemingly lost the WR2 battle.Terry McLaurin has the Commanders' WR1 job locked up, and Luke McCaffrey, Olamide Zaccheaus and Dyami Brown are all vying for WR2 snaps, though a trade for a star wide receiver could change things.
It's true, Dotson didn't quite get a fair shot. Daniels is the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft with true dual-threat talent under center. For the wide receivers, they've got a chance to finally show out in the DMV, and McLaurin will do just that, though he won't be joined by Dotson. The Eagles, however, were handed a letter grade "B" as Dotson will now be their third wide receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
The Commanders didn't net a large return, but they're continuing to usher in a new era of the franchise, and getting a fresh start absolutely doesn't hurt after posting just four wins in 2023.Kade has been covering a wide variety of teams ranging from the NFL to the NBA and college athletics since joining Sports Illustrated's FanNation in 2022.
