TBD here, but I share your questions. He was a top 15 pick two years ago for a team with a rookie QB in need of WR options. Why couldn’t Dotson win the WR3 job in that dynamic?
great numbers (cap wise) for the Birds for a #3 WR.
There were rumors that he was potentially getting cut. If there was really a discussion in that direction, then taking this package made sense.
That’s really the only explanation that makes sense only it doesn’t make sense given his production. Puzzling
He had a decent rookie year, but took a step back last year. He's appeared to fall down the depth chart this fall with the new coaching staff, and was splitting time in the slot with a rookie. Appears that Dyami Brown took Dotson's starting spot on the outside. I hope that a change of scenery could be a good thing for him.
Another smart move by Howie. JD just entering his prime years. Reasonable contract that can be extended based on production. Mostly an upside deal….fairly low risk etc. Given that we have several ( less experienced)slot guys injured at the moment ….this makes a lot of sense.
as I said days ago.....

After the rose bowl, I thought he would be a stud pro. Then the jets drafted him. Lol PSU’s defense made him look like a Heisman winner. 😞
Dotson underperformed with Washington, no other way to say it. I wish him well, good guy, played hard, never complained, typical Penn Stater in that regard. He had a terrible spell of the drops for a time last year, totally a mental issue.
and the first time Hurts beats the 0 blitz will be the last time anyone has the nutz to bring it.
That’s exactly what needs to happen. And early in the season.
it's hard to know how much of an issue this is with Hurts. It was evident during the downward spiral at the end of the season that most Ds opposing the Birds were blitzing Hurts left and right.
Preseason practices are tough to gauge anything on, but there did appear to be a lot of situational practices where the Birds' D was blitzing Hurts. And from the press reports, sometimes he was touched by a defender (all they were doing in practice) and other times he was burning the D with quick passes.
With the starting O basically not playing in any of the preseason games, Birds' fans and opposing D coordinators are left not really knowing how the Birds/Hurts will do in blitzes this season. I'd be stunned if the Birds weren't more than ready to handle blitzes by opposing Ds, but only time will tell.
My hunch is the Barkley signing was in large part to combat this. You get the ball in Saquon’s hands with six defenders past the line and it’s lights out.
