REPORT: Douglas Refused Another Dolphins Offer on Thursday

NFL Insider Josina Anderson reports that free agent cornerback Rasul Douglas didn’t accept an offer from the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. Miami has made previous offers to Douglas in the past.

With Artie Burns going down to a season-ending ACL injury, the Dolphins were looking to bolster their cornerback room and add a body. They instead signed veteran journeyman Cornell Armstrong.

In May, Douglas visited the Miami Dolphins at their headquarters in Miami Gardens, FL. The Dolphins did make an offer but the two sides did not come to terms.

Rasul has also visited with the Seattle Seahawks.

He 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, Rasul 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.

The Dolphins are still holding out hope that Cam Smith will fill one of the starting roles in 2025. It will be seen if he is able to be a starter this season.

Miami’s secondary has been labeled by many in the media as the worst secondary in the entire NFL entering the season.

With no additions, if the season started today, Miami’s two starting cornerbacks would be Cam Smith and Storm Duck, with Kader Kohou as the nickelback.
