Report: Redskins will not pick up WR Josh Doctson's 5th year option

Least shocking news of the day award goes to JP Finlay's report that the Redskins will not be picking up WR Josh Doctson's 5th year option on his rookie contract. The option would have cost the Redskins $10.162 million next year, and would have been fully guaranteed for injury.

Doctson's had a rough start to his NFL career, and hasn't shown the Redskins enough on the field for them to commit to him next year. His injury history makes him a risk to invest that much money in past his rookie deal.
