Two weeks before the 2024 NFL season, the Eagles Acquired former Wr Jahan Dotson of the first round in an agreement with the rival of the division Washington Commanders.
Dotson had to solidify a talented WR trio composed of himself, Aj Brown and Devonta Smith, but started slow in Philadelphia. He caught only 19 assists for 216 yards and a touchdown, but delivered at key moments during the section.
With a complete off -season and a training camp to his credit, Dotson is impatient to make a greater impact in 2025. According to the media members who observed MINICAMP MANICAP Tuesday, DOSTON has already started to make progress in the offense.
Jeff McLane, investing him – AJ Brown took its first competitive snaps – at least to the practices I witnessed. The Eagles seem to manage the 28 -year -old workload, as they were with other key skills players. I only counted a few capes for Brown, which was abnormal given the frequency to which the quarter-rear Jalen Hurts likes to throw his favorite target. Not having Brown and Smith in most spring was probably, in the situation as a whole, a good thing for the next lot of receivers.
Jahan Dotson benefited the most and was often the first outlet for Hurts. He caught all the passes that I connected in the three open training sessions. He did not see much the ball in his first season with the Eagles, for various reasons. But the old choice of draft of Washington commanders, who played in the last year of his recruit contract, constantly flashed reliable hands. It could be essential if Hurts is forced to launch more this season.

After the practice, Hurts spoke of the construction of more chemistry with Dotson and the other receivers.
“I think time has been precious. It was useful to work with Jahan [Dotson]Working with Marshall terrace – he made a lot of big games this off -season – Dallas [Goedert]To agree [Calcaterra]Harison [Bryant]. Everyone – Saquon [Barkley] over there. Everyone who was able to go available, working with them and enjoying it was big.
I think it is important to develop this chemistry, and we all know that the season can follow any type of meaning, and therefore simply make sure that you can have a basis of a kind with everyone is important. And then I also had the conversation with the Patullo coach who is available, but in the end, this is how we put them in a position to do what we are going to do. “”
The Eagles refused the Fifth Year of Dotson’s option in April, because its production did not justify the price of $ 16.8 million it should have in 2026. Dotson is now heading for a year of contract with the possibility of strengthening its value before the free agency.
