Jets Cut WR Josh Doctson

The Jets are doing some spring cleaning. On Friday, the Jets released six players from their offseason roster, including wide receiver Josh Doctson. Meanwhile, they also welcomed 12 new undrafted free agents. Here’s the full rundown:

Released:

WR Josh Doctson
K Chase McLaughlin
CB Kyron Brown
TE Connor Davis
OL Leo Koloamatangi
WR Jaleel Scott

Signed:

Isaiah Dunn, DB, Oregon State
Michael Dwumfour, DL, Rutgers
Camilo Eifler, LB, Illinois
Parker Ferguson, OL, Air Force
Grant Hermanns, OL, Purdue
Tristen Hoge, OL, BYU
Kenny Yeboah, TE, Mississippi
Chris Naggar, K, SMU
Jordyn Peters, S, Auburn
Hamilcar Rashed Jr., DE, Oregon State
Teton Saltes, OL, New Mexico
Brendon White, LB, Rutgers

Doctson, a former first-round pick of the WFT, joined the Jets in February as a street free agent. In August, he exercised his right to opt out, tolling his one-year pact to 2021. While Doctson did not deliver on Washington’s investment, he did post multiple 500-plus-yard seasons from 2017-18 and profiled as a somewhat interesting candidate to factor into the Jets’ wideout mix last season. Now, he’ll seek employment elsewhere.

Jets Sign 9 UDFAs

The Jets just made 10 draft picks, and now they’ve added nine undrafted rookies. The following players make up New York’s first UDFA class of the Robert Saleh era, via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY (Twitter link).

Isaiah Dunn, CB (Oregon State)
Michael Dwumfour, DT (Rutgers)
Brendon White, S (Rutgers)
Kenny Yeboah, TE (Ole Miss)
Hamilcar Rashed, DE (Oregon State)
Teton Saltes, OL (New Mexico)
Milo Eifler, LB (Illinois)
Tristen Hoge, OL (BYU)
Grant Hermanns, OT (Purdue)
Parker Ferguson, OT (Air Force)
Chris Naggar, K (SMU)
Jordyn Peters, S (Auburn)

The Jets clearly had competition for Yeboah. New York gave him a whopping $200K in guaranteed money with a $20K signing bonus and $180K base salary guarantee, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network tweets. Chris Herndon led the Jets’ tight ends with 287 yards in 16 games last year, so it’s not surprising to see them taking flyers like this. Yeboah had 524 yards and six touchdowns in only seven games for Ole Miss in 2020.

The team also gave Dunn $185K guaranteed, Aaron Wilson tweets. Wilson reports it’s the biggest guarantee ever for an undrafted cornerback. They also gave Saltes $93K guaranteed, Wilson tweets.

With only Chase McLaughlin and Sam Ficken on the roster the Jets don’t have a firmly entrenched kicker, so Naggar could have a real shot at winning the job. He’s got a video on Twitter of him hitting a 71-yarder.
