Instead, the arrival of a new regime led by general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn spelled the end of Dotson's time in Washington, where he fell from an expected No. 2 role opposite star receiver Terry McLaurin to an expendable asset in one summer.
The likelihood of a trade increased over the course of the preseason, in which Daniels got his usual work as a rookie starting quarterback and then quickly exited while Dotson ended up playing deep into the second half of Washington's first preseason game. In a typical preseason, entrenched contributors see minimal on-field time for their teams, unless they need to prove themselves to a new staff. Dotson, though, ended up behind Dyami Brown in the Week 1 pecking order, and after playing a more normal 23 snaps in Week 2, Washington decided now was the time to part ways with the Penn State product.
At 5-foot-11 and 182 pounds, Dotson was seen as a candidate to spend more time in the slot in 2024 with Washington. In Philadelphia, the same can be expected in a receiving corps that boasts quite a top three in A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and potentially Dotson. He'll need to get up to speed rather quickly to earn a spot in Philadelphia's offense before Week 1, but the Eagles are clearly happy to add talent at a bargain rate -- especially from a division rival -- at this point in the preseason.
