CBS sport news: Controversial trade, Eagles WR send a strong warning to Ex-Team.
As demonstrated by the “warning” that newly acquired Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson gave, directed somewhat at the Washington Commanders squad that had just traded him, business doesn’t always imply that it can’t be personal.
Is there animosity in the NFC East? That is typical. A deal between these two adversaries? Not precisely typical. Is Dotson more concerned with finishing the work at hand than transforming himself into the player he feels he was intended to be as a first-round choice of Washington a few years ago?
It is the most important thing. However, there will be two games between these two teams in the 2024 NFL season, with the first one taking place on November 14. Next, though? “Until we play Washington, I won’t take it personally,” Dotson remarked in reference to the Commanders giving up on him.
Will Dotson be able to prove to his old team that the trade was a mistake? That’s the theory, but in reality, Dotson never quite lived up to expectations there and was being outplayed for snaps by players with lesser skill sets, as the Eagles discovered when the Commanders traded him to them for a third-round pick and two seventh-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft (the Eagles also received a fifth-round pick from the Commanders).
He caught 84 passes for 1,041 yards and 11 touchdowns in 29 games played in Washington, but the Commanders were hoping for more. But this time? Considering that the Eagles are heavy favorites over Washington, he’ll be an additional offensive complement for a Jalen Hurts-led squad that already features A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Saquon Barkley at wide receiver and running back, respectively? He’ll be ready to exact his retribution. Two times.
