Former Redskins WR Josh Doctson signs with New York Jets

After being released by the Redskins ahead of the 2019 season, Doctson will look to realize his once-high ceiling with Sam Darnold in NY.

Another former member of the Washington Redskins has found a home in New York with the Jets.

According to ESPN’s Field Yates, Josh Doctson, a former first-round pick in Washington, has signed a contract with the Jets after spending the last several months as a free agent following his dismissal from the Minnesota Vikings in November of 2019.

Doctson, who had his fifth-year option declined by the Redskins and was subsequently released before the 2019 season, will now join up with former teammate Jamison Crowder in the Jets offense. Should he be able to at long last find his footing in the NFL, he could be a major asset for the Jets, who are expected to lose both Robby Anderson and Demaryius Thomas in free agency this year.
