THE Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly pulled off another intradivisional trade, acquiring wide receiver Jahan Dotson from the Washington Commanders.
The move marked the second NFL trade done between the two NFC East rivals in recent months.

The Eagles shipped Dotson and a fifth-round draft pick in exchange for a 2025 third-round and two seventh-round selections in the “rare in-division trade,” NFL insider Adam Schefter reported Thursday.
It came three months after Philadelphia and Washington did business together during the 2024 NFL Draft.
On Day 2, the Commanders sent picks No. 40, 78, and 152 for the Eagles’ Nos. 50, 53, and 161.
NFL fans were caught by surprise seeing the two NFC East teams back at the negotiating table again.
“[Commanders head coach] Dan Quinn wanna be an Eagle so bad I’m crying,” one posted on X.
“Commanders are Eagles fans,” another wrote.
“Strange bedfellows,” a third said.
“Are Washington and Philadelphia colluding with each other?” one asked.

Some fans speculated whether the Commanders gathered extra draft capital to make a trade offer for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
Aiyuk has been involved in a contract extension standoff with the 49ers for the past few months.
Not long ago, the All-Pro wideout mentioned Washington as his possible next team if he was to leave San Francisco this summer.
