Packers Eye Rasul Douglas for Secondary Boost

0:00On March 29th, the Green Bay Packers beefed up their cornerback spot by signing Benjamin St. Juiced, but they still need more firepower on the boundary. Analysts like Zachary Porellis from CBS Sports point to resull Douglas as a perfect free agent fit. This guy is still unsigned after playing for the Miami Dolphins, and the Packers know him well from his earlier days with the team. Back in 2021, they grabbed Douglas off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad and he lit it up right away with five interceptions, including two picks, sixes, plus 13 passes knocked down. He kept balling in 2022 with four picks and more deflections, but got traded to Buffalo in 2023 for a third round pick. Things dipped in 2024 there, though he bounced back strong in Miami last season. Fans and experts see the upside since quarterbacks hit just 54.5% on throws into his coverage, allowing 430. Giards, three touchdowns, and two picks for a low pass rating of 73.

1:01His time in Green Bay showed he can start and produce with 10 total interceptions over 36 games. Now with a new Dolphins crew not bringing him back, Douglas waits as free agency cools off. Packers GM Brian Gutekunst could dial him up post draft, maybe after grabbing offensive line or pass rush help early without messing up comp picks. They might even double down with a draft corner too. Bottom line, Douglas brings proven ball skills that could lock down the secondary, but another team might snag him first. Packers brass should keep that line open just in case the fit clicks again.
