NEW YORK (AP) NFL owners' eagerness to approve negotiated terms of a new labor agreement apparently is not matched by the players.

They want more talks.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) The New York Jets have signed free agent Josh Doctson to add depth to their wide receiver position.

The Jets announced the signing Saturday. Doctson was a first-round pick by Washington out of TCU in 2016 but failed to live up to his lofty draft status.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) The Chicago Bears waived cornerback Prince Amukamara and speedy receiver Taylor Gabriel on Friday.

Amukamara started 42 games over the past three seasons and gave the Bears a physical presence in the backfield while helping the defense emerge as a top-10 unit. He was limited by a hamstring injury late last season and missed a game.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) The Jacksonville Jaguars exercised contract options on receiver Chris Conley and free safety Jarrod Wilson on Friday, potentially eliminating two areas of need heading into free agency and the draft.

The Jaguars now have Conley under contract through 2020 and Wilson through 2021. Conley is due to make $2 million in base salary this fall, with $1 million of that now fully guaranteed. He will count $2.795 million against the salary car. Wilson will earn $2.45 million in base salary in 2020 and $2.2 million in 2021. He will count $3.08 million and $2.83 million, respectively, against the cap in those years.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) Brian Gutekunst was in the draft room in 2005. That’s the year his predecessor, Ted Thompson, used his first-round pick on Aaron Rodgers even though the Packers had Brett Favre at quarterback.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen will become a free agent for the first time in his 11-year career, coming off a bounce-back season for the longest-tenured player on the team.

Griffen has chosen to exercise his option to void the remaining three years on his contract, a person with knowledge of the decision confirmed Thursday to The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the move.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Redskins released Jordan Reed on Thursday, cutting ties with an injury-prone tight end who was rarely able to show his full abilities.

Injuries from head to toe limited Reed to 65 games over his first seven years in the NFL, all with Washington. He missed the entire 2019 season with his fifth documented concussion as a pro and seventh going back to his college career at Florida.

CLEVELAND (AP) Browns Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry elected to have hip surgery after initially opting not to have the operation.

Landry was bothered by his hip all last season, but still finished with a team-leading 83 catches for 1,1174 yards and six touchdowns. He visited a specialist after the season and decided not to have the procedure before changing his mind after playing with pain in the Pro Bowl.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) The Chicago Bears signed tight end Demetrius Harris to a one-year contract Thursday.
