The Philadelphia Eagles acquired wide receiver Jahan Dotson from the Washington Commanders on Thursday.

The Eagles also received a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft from their NFC East rivals in exchange for a third-round selection and two seventh-round picks in the same draft.

Dotson is expected to slot in as the third wide receiver in Philadelphia behind three-time Pro Bowl selection A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Brown and Smith each received a long-term contract extensions this offseason.

Dotson, 24, had 49 catches for 518 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games (16 starts) last season.

He has totaled 84 receptions for 1,041 yards and 11 scores in 29 games (26 starts) since being selected by Washington with the 16th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.
