The New York Jets have added another weapon to their offense.
The team announced Saturday that it has signed former Redskins and Vikings wide receiver Josh Doctson.
Doctson was a first-round pick out of TCU by the Redskins in 2016. In three seasons with the Redskins, Doctson made 81 catches for 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns.
The 27-year-old was a surprise cut by the Redskins this past September. Doctson ended up being signed by the Vikings after being waived, but he only appeared in one game and recorded no stats.
The Jets have a lot of uncertainty at the wide receiver position. Their top receiver, Robby Anderson, is a free agent and could be on his way out of New York. Meanwhile, Quincy Enunwa has major health concerns and Demaryius Thomas is also a free agent. The one staple at wide receiver is Jamison Crowder in the slot. Vyncint Smith and Braxton Berrios are under contract as well.
There’s no risk in signing Doctson to a deal. Either he performs well in training camp and makes the roster or he gets cut with no harm.
