Overview

  • The Philadelphia Eagles have officially declined Jahan Dotson's fifth-year option, valued at just under $17 million.
  • Dotson, a 2022 first-round pick by the Washington Commanders, was traded to the Eagles in 2024 for a package including a third-round pick.
  • The wide receiver struggled in the 2024 regular season, recording career lows of 19 receptions for 216 yards and no touchdowns.
