The Birds\u2019 WR3 is reportedly heading to the Atlanta Falcons on a two-year deal worth $15 million and includes $10 million guaranteed, according to a report from <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Schultz_Report\/status\/2031068571023868081?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet\" rel=\"nofollow\">NFL insider Jordan Schultz<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Dotson wasn\u2019t expected to return to the Eagles, but he still had plenty of nice things to say about the organization he won a Super Bowl with in 2024. During his two years in Philly, the former Penn State pass-catcher recorded 37 catches for 478 yards and one touchdown. While Dotson made some highlight catches at times (few and far between), he ranked 189th out of 200 wide receivers in yards per route run in 2025. His minimal role behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith was evident ever since the team traded for him in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Now Dotson will head to the Falcons, where he\u2019ll have a chance to play a bigger role in the offense. Dotson will join another former Eagles receiver, Olamide Zaccheaus, who also reportedly plans to sign with Atlanta in free agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Eagles are currently projected to receive a 2027 sixth-round compensatory pick for losing Dotson. Of course, potential Eagles comp picks could be cancelled out if they make external free agent signings of their own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s still a bit of uncertainty as to what the Eagles\u2019 wide receiver room will look like in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":802841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[25,7,6,242,109,5406,24295,2476],"class_list":{"0":"post-802840","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-eagles","8":"tag-eagles","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-philadelphia","12":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","13":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","14":"tag-philadelphia-eagles-free-agency","15":"tag-philadelphiaeagles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116200637290366511","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=802840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/802840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/802841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=802840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=802840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=802840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
