Dotson, a first-rounder out of Penn State in 2022, is one of several high draft picks from the previous regime under Ron Rivera who did not look to be part of the long-term plan moving forward with new general manager Adam Peters and coach Dan Quinn. Washington’s first-round selections in 2023, cornerback Emmanuel Forbes, and 2021, linebacker Jamin Davis, have also been buried on the depth chart.Dotson had 49 receptions for 518 yards and four touchdowns last season and should serve in Philadelphia as the No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
The 5-foot-11 Dotson brings needed speed and explosiveness and fills a dire need as that third option. The Eagles had tried a combination of receivers in camp that included Britain Covey, and Johnny Wilson but it was clear a more reliable option was needed.Aaron Rodgers and the Jets’ starters will not play in the preseason finale against the Giants“I think it’s been an awesome battle for this receiver room,” Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore said this week. “Obviously A.J. and DeVonta have done an excellent job.
