Vikings add veteran receiver Josh Doctson

Two days after cutting Laquon Treadwell, the Vikings made a move to add the other receiver who piqued their interest in the 2016 draft.

According to multiple NFL sources, the Vikings have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with former Redskins receiver Josh Doctson, who went to Washington a pick before the Vikings selected Treadwell in 2016.

At Doctson's pro day at TCU in 2016, coach Mike Zimmer was on the field running press coverage drills with the wide receiver to see how he'd react in the NFL. It seemed as if Doctson might end up in Minnesota, until the Redskins took him in a three-pick run of receivers that started with Corey Coleman to Houston and ended with Treadwell to Minnesota.
