Former Bills Cornerback Rasul Douglas Rejects Dolphins Offer Remains Free Agent

Cornerback Rasul Douglas, who started 15 games for the Buffalo Bills last season, remains a free agent after reportedly turning down a contract offer from the Miami Dolphins. Despite the Dolphins' interest and a potential need for a starting-caliber cornerback amid Jalen Ramsey's uncertain future, Douglas has chosen to remain unsigned for now. Buffalo, having prioritized other cornerbacks like Christian Benford, Tre'Davious White, Dane Jackson, and rookie Max Hairston, has not engaged in new contract talks with Douglas, although the team expressed openness to a return. Douglas is seen as a good fit for Miami's Cover 2-heavy defensive scheme, but his hesitation to join the Dolphins echoes other former Bills players who have regretted similar moves. While Douglas had a strong start with Buffalo after a midseason trade in 2023, his 2024 season performance was less impactful, which may influence his current free-agent status. The Dolphins remain in contact and could revisit an offer, but Douglas's next move remains uncertain.
