Getting rid of Jahan Dotson before his value plummeted was a shrewd piece of business by general manager Adam Peters. And it seems like the former Washington Commanders wide receiver is already fighting for his long-term future in a different environment.

The Commanders sent Dotson packing to the Philadelphia Eagles last summer. It was a contentious issue, especially given that they are fierce division rivals, but Peters got the best trade deal. The wideout won a Super Bowl ring, even if he didn't contribute that much throughout the campaign.

Bigger things are expected of Dotson heading into this season, which also happens to be the last of his rookie deal after the Eagles didn't pick up his fifth-year option.
