The New England Patriots recently kicked the tires on a pair of former first-round wide receivers with Calvin Ridley in free agency and Brandon Aiyuk via trade.
Well, another former first-round wideout was available for trade and New England was either unwilling, unable or uninterested.
The Washington Commanders traded wide receiver Jahan Dotson to their divisional rival Philadelphia Eagles, as first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday morning. NESN's Keagan Stiefel recently mentioned Dotson as a potential target for the Patriots.
Philadelphia reportedly is sending a 2025 third-round pick and two seventh-round picks to Washington in exchange for Dotson and a fifth-round pick.
