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. Everyone has been waiting for Doctson to prove his draft status, and he will have to step up this year if he wants to get paid in 2020.
