The Green Bay Packers have found themselves involved in several surprising trades in recent seasons. Notably, the franchise-altering moves involving Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers marked a significant shift, steering the organization in a completely new, and notably younger, direction.
However, another trade orchestrated by the Packers before this year’s deadline has garnered significant attention today. Cornerback Rasul Douglas, along with a fifth-round pick, was traded to the Buffalo Bills for a third-round pick. Given the struggles of the Packers’ secondary this season, the trade raised questions among fans and players alike. Douglas had been serving as their second cornerback and even stepped into the number one role when Jaire Alexander was sidelined with an injury.
Since his move to Buffalo, Douglas has flourished. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler highlighted the impact he has made on the Bills’ defense, showcasing his impressive stats in eight games: three interceptions, two fumble recoveries, five pass deflections, and one sack.
