Eagles' $2.7 million playmaker definitely won't make anymore plays in Philly

Not all homecomings include storybook endings; that goes for one Philadelphia Eagles player especially.

After returning to Pennsylvania via a trade with the Washington Commanders heading into the 2024 season, former first-round selection and Penn State star wideout Jahan Dotson arrived eager to soar once more. On the surface, it seemed a return to his old stomping grounds - where he once starred for the Nazareth High Blue Eagles before becoming one of the Nittany Lions' most feared weapons of all time - could be a match made in gridiron heaven.

But the feel-good story it began never came to fruition, as the two seasons Dotson spent in the city of brotherly love saw the wideout never quite take flight.
