    Josh, we hardly knew ye...

    Sucks because I was interested to see if a change of scenery (again) could help him out but you gotta do what you gotta do.

    Spares us the disappointment of seeing first-hand why he's been such a disappointment.

    He wasn’t going to make the team.

    Wasn't expecting much from him, so this is hardly a disappointment.

    I agree. I think Vyncint Smith, Cager, and maybe Campbell would have beat him out. For that matter, Josh Malone and Jeff Smith might have beat him out as well.

    The deadline for players to opt out of playing the 2020 season passed at 4 p.m. ET and the NFL’s daily transaction wire brings word of a late addition to the list of players who made that decision.

    Jets wide receiver Josh Doctson has opted out of playing. Doctson signed a one-year, $825,000 contract with the Jets in February that will toll to the 2021 season.

    Doctson was a first-round pick in Washington in 2016, but only managed 81 catches for 1,100 yards and eight touchdowns in 33 games for the team. He spent time in Minnesota last year, but didn’t have a catch in the one game he played.

    Doctson is one of three Jets players to opt out. Offensive lineman Leo Koloamatangi and linebacker C.J. Mosley are the others.

    Undrafted

    I think he is gonna be a pleasant surprise. I dispise the Hurricanes, but I always had the change to watch him play. My buddy is a huge Canes fan.

    He was pissed when he transferred to Georgia his senior year.

    I know... the “8th” was the joke because... ah nevermind.

    Cager is the exact type of receiver we should have drafted with one of the 4ths. It would be real nice if he pans out as a UDFA.

    It is somewhat disappointing since I want to see if a change of scenery would do him good but I understand his decision
