A Rasul Douglas Reunion Would Make Sense for Green Bay Packers

So, should the Packers bring in more help at corner this offseason?

They should absolutely consider it.

They can't spend a ton of money or assets on a true lockdown cornerback, but general manager Brian Gutekunst should always be looking to make this team better via smaller deals.

Interestingly enough, a reunion with an old friend, cornerback Rasul Douglas, would be just that.

According to Easton Butler, Douglas seems interested in returning to Green Bay, and his representation has potentially been talking to the Packers, alongside several other teams.

It feels like Douglas has been around the league forever, but he's only 30 years old. He's no spring chicken, but he is a veteran presence who thrived during his time in Green Bay from 2021 to 2023.

Douglas also did some good work in stints with the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins after he left Green Bay via trade.

In 24 games and 23 starts with Buffalo, Douglas notched four interceptions (including one taken back for a touchdown) and 13 passes defended. Last season for the Miami Dolphins, he snagged two interceptions and 13 passes defended.

Nixon had one interception and 17 passes defended last season. Valentine didn't get a pick and notched only four passes defended.

If Douglas wants to be in Green Bay, those numbers suggest that the Packers could absolutely use him.

Douglas and Nixon starting on the boundaries, with St-Juste, Valentine and Cisse behind them, could absolutely be viable for the Packers in 2026.

Going to get Douglas and having the money to pay him would be part of that deal, but he clearly seems open to a reunion with the Packers -- and it would make sense for both parties.
