Dolphins Sign CB Rasul Douglas

Douglas will be 31 in August and is a 2017 3rd-round pick by the Eagles. He has since played for the Panthers, Raiders, Texans, Cardinals, Packers, and Bills.

He has a wealth of experience, having played in 120 games and started 80 of them. Last season, in 2024 for the Bills, Douglas started and played in 15 games. He had no interceptions and 58 tackles.

In 2023,  Douglas split time between the Packers and the Bills. In only nine games with the Bills, in which he started 8, Douglas had four interceptions. In 7 games with the Packers in 2023, in which Douglas started all seven, he had one interception.

For his career, Douglas has 19 interceptions and 441 tackles in 120 games.

If you are into PFF numbers, Douglas had a 59.2 overall grade as a cornerback. Ranked 132 out of 222 corners. He had a 58.9 coverage grade, ranking 127 out of 222 corners.

Douglas played 891 total snaps, and 493 were pass coverage snaps. His passer rating allowed was 123.7, and he allowed 40 receptions.

In Miami, he will step in and be an automatic day 1 starter for the Dolphins, whose cornerback room is by far the worst in the NFL as of today.

Reports from Buffalo last season were that Douglas wasn’t very good, which is why they didn’t bring him back.

I would expect Douglas to start opposite Storm Duck Week 1 vs Indy, should Douglas be healthy and ready to go.

The Dolphins had the surprise cut of Mike Hilton on Monday, and I wouldn’t be shocked if Miami looks for more cornerback help this week and maybe looks to add another veteran who still remains unsigned.

Asante Samuel Jr is out there but there questions if he is even medically cleared to play at this time.
