Rasul Douglas Fantasy

The Green Bay Packers agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal worth up to $25.5 million with free-agent cornerback Rasul Douglas on Saturday, according to a source. The Packers picked Douglas up off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad in October of last year, and he went on to make 57 tackles (52 solo), a career-high five interceptions (two returned for touchdowns) and 13 passes defensed in 12 games (nine starts) for Green Bay. The 26-year-old was tied for fourth in the NFL in interceptions and was tied for 15th in pass breakups, proving to be an impact player for the team down the stretch. Douglas earned his new contract and will open the 2022 season as a starting member of the secondary.

Green Bay Packers impending free-agent cornerback Rasul Douglas was one of the NFL's breakout stars last year, but Spotrac projects him to earn $9 million per year on his next deal, and the Packers probably can't afford that given their salary cap situation. Even if Douglas walks in free agency, Green Bay should be fine at outside cornerback with Jaire Alexander and Eric Stokes for the foreseeable future. Douglas said it wouldn't cost much more than he made last season (less than $1 million) to keep him, but his agent probably thinks otherwise. The 27-year-old posted 57 tackles (52 solo), five interceptions (two for touchdowns), 13 passes defensed and one forced fumble in 12 regular season games (nine starts) in 2021.
