The Washington Commanders traded wide receiver Jahan Dotson to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday.

Philadelphia also received a 2025 fifth-round pick while sending Washington a third-round selection and two 2025 seventh-round picks.

Per Over the Cap, the Eagles had $24.7 million in cap space prior to the Dotson deal. The Commanders had $37.2 million in cap room, the fourth-highest mark among all NFL teams.

Here's a look at a projected two-deep offensive depth chart with Dotson in the mix, per philadelphiaeagles.com.

Here are the updated 2025 draft picks for each team following the trade.


Eagles 2025 Draft

  • Eagles 1st
  • Eagles 2nd
  • Eagles 5th
  • Commanders 5th
  • Falcons 7th
  • Saints 7th

Commanders 2025 Draft

  • Commanders 1st
  • Commanders 2nd
  • Commanders 3rd
  • Commanders 4th
  • Commanders 6th
  • Commanders 6th
  • Eagles 7th
  • Broncos 7th

Per Over the Cap, the Commanders saved just over $2 million by trading Dotson.

The 24-year-old still has two years remaining on his rookie contract and could be under team control even longer if Philadelphia decides to exercise his fifth-year option for the 2026 season.

Dotson's 2022 rookie season was promising, as he hauled in 35 receptions for 523 yards and seven touchdowns. He wasn't able to cement his status as Washington's No. 2 receiver in 2023, averaging a mere 30.5 yards per game and recording just 518 total yards despite appearing in five more contests compared to the previous year.

While Dotson will operate behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith on Philadelphia's depth chart, he still has a chance to emerge as the No. 3 option in the passing game for quarterback Jalen Hurts in the slot.

Although Brown and Smith both surpassed 1,000 yards in 2023, Olamide Zaccheaus recorded the third-highest receiving total among Eagles wideouts with 164 yards.

As Philadelphia attempts to bounce back from a disappointing wild card playoff loss after starting the season with a 10-1 record, the addition of Dotson could give Hurts another option in the pass game if the former No. 16 overall pick in the 2022 draft can thrive following a change of scenery.
