Jets Cut Six Including WR Josh Doctson, Place S Saquan Hampton On PUP List

The New York Jets announced Friday that they’ve cut six players including WR Josh Doctson and placed S Saquan Hampton on the PUP list.

The full list of roster cuts includes:

1. CB Kyron Brown
2. TE Connor Davis
3. OL Leo Kolamatangi
4. K Chase McLaughlin
5. WR Jaleel Scott
6. WR Josh Doctson

Doctson, 28, was taken in the first round out of TCU in 2016 by Washington. He signed a four-year, $10.049 million contract and was set to make a base salary of $1,820,406 for the 2019 season he was released after the preseason. 

The Vikings later signed Doctson to a contract before placing him on injured reserve with a leg injury soon after. Minnesota designated him to return from injured reserve but ended up waiving him in November after appearing in just one game. 

Doctson signed a contract with the Jets last February but opted out of the 2020 season due to the pandemic. 

In 2018, Doctson appeared in 15 games for Washington. and caught 44 passes for 532 yards receiving (12.1 YPC) and two touchdowns.

Brown, 24, signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Akron following the 2019 NFL Draft. He was waived by the Jets coming out of the preseason and later signed to their practice squad. 

New York eventually promoted Brown to the active roster in November. However, the Jets waived him with a failed physical designation last offseason and he reverted to their injured reserve. 

In 2019, Brown appeared in three games for the Jets and recorded five total tackles.
