The Washington Redskins announcedย that they’ve signed six of the seven draft picks to contracts on Monday including first-round WR Josh Doctson.
- Washington also signedย Su’a Cravens, Matt Ioannidis, Nate Sudfeld, Steven Danielsย and Keith Marshall.
Doctson, 23, was taken with the No. 22 overall pick, which was a bit of a surprise pick for Washington. However, this gives them a long-term receiver to develop and some optionsย when it comes to keeping veteran receivers DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon at their current salaries in the coming years.
According toย OverTheCap.com, Doctson receives aย four-year contract worth $10,049,644 to go along with a signing bonus of $5,508,832. The contract will include a fifth-year option for the team to consider in 2019.
During his four-year college career, Doctsonย caught 214 passes for 3,177 yards receiving (14.8 YPR) and 34 touchdowns.
