Eagles trade for Jahan Dotson

[RunKC]

A rare in-division trade: Washington is sending former first-round pick Jahan Dotson and a fifth-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick and two seventh-round picks, per sources. pic.twitter.com/ieDX8EvH0s

I mean I like that trade for the Eagles, you put a guy with 1st round talent in that group...the idea is Dotson's skills, route running, quickness etc can be used really well in a slot role and also being the 5th option in an offense is going to get him better matchups.

It's a solid move on the Eagles part, Washington though, it's weird to give up on a guy who was a 1st round pick 2 years ago when you're breaking in a rookie QB.

Too bad their QB isn’t any good.

I think that says more about Washington than anything, that team is a dumpster fire that has no idea how to evaluate or use talent.

Philly better win the SB this year or next because that house of cards is due to fall pretty quickly.

Philly does this shit every year, then the next year they lose guys and do the same shit again.

If McCaffery was going to be the #2, Dotson would not be happy. That having someone upset, not in your long range plans and a new staff...moving on and getting a late day 2 pick is not all bad. Next year you have 5 milion extra to put towards the Wr's and if your not playing him 80-90% of the snap counts his value is not going up.

Aikuk will end up in Washington…Adam Peters has connections to SF and Daniels and Aiyuk are great friends.

I don't buy that unless Washington thinks it's 1994 and are going to run 2 WR sets all the time.

In todays NFL WR 3 plays as much as 1 and 2.

So is there a defensive end equivalent to this for us out there?

I think they are fine with Karlaftis and Danna with Omenihu coming back about mid year. Felix is DE4

I initially thought it was too bad. We didn’t make this trade, but then I realized there’s no way he would’ve beaten out rice, brown, or worthy. And we’re going to run a lot of double tight end sets as well.

So definitely a good trade for Philadelphia because they needed a WR three. But not a trade we should’ve made.

Omenihu back by late Nov/Dec should help, but that's a whole lotta year to play with what they've got.

I'd imagine Albert Breer saying they'll be looking at vet DE's would have come from the FO somewhere.

Worth a shot for Philly. Might not work out but if it does it could pay big dividends. Def reminds me of the Toney trade

Where was this reported?

Fair chance the players tank this season because they hate the coach.

“Interactions between Sirianni and (Jalen) Hurts during practice this spring and summer have appeared limited. While (new offensive coordinator Kellen) Moore shepherds the offense -- a walkie-talkie in hand to call in the plays to the quarterback -- Sirianni bounces from station to station… There was only one observed moment between Sirianni and Hurts -- a high-five initiated by Sirianni as the two passed by one another when Hurts was on his way to the huddle.“

“Addressing the media on the final day of minicamp in early June, Hurts was asked about Sirianni:

What have you noticed about Nick being open-minded to change up the offense like he has? What does that say about him?

Hurts, who learned how to de-thorn even the most pointed queries during his time at Alabama under Nick Saban, offered a response that could be seen as a match to kindling.

"Um," he said, followed by a pause and a short closed-mouth laugh. "I mean, that's a great question. I don't know that I know the answer to it."
