I think the reality is that Doctson will likely be gone next year no matter what. Either he does poorly and we move on. Or he does well and we aren't likely to pay him what he might get on the open market and he leaves. I do not imagine that we'll pay a lot with 1 strong season in 4, and another team may be more willing to take that gamble. I also suspect that most players are disinclined to stick around when teams do not exercise the option, and so he's eyes will be on the door anyway.
