Dolphins Sign Rasul Douglas

[BillsFanForever19]

He won't be coming here, as has been discussed with the injuries we have at CB. After turning them down earlier in the off-season, he changed his mind. Must have not had a better option.

Hope he enjoys getting torched by Allen twice this year.

I don't think he changed his mind I am pretty sure he did not want to deal with training camp in the miami heat.

This proves he is crazy..

[boyst]

There was conflicting reports. I had heard we made an offer to pretty much every pending FA at the end of the season, including Douglas. I'd estimate it was a very low offer if true.

 

Others have said he was one of the only FA's not offered. 

 

I'm wondering which it was.

Not gonna get picky here, because who knows... but i feel like the Dolphins were low balling him, saw our injuries and upped their offer...  like I can totally see what you are saying, but if you are gonna take a 1 year prove it deal... I think it is short sighted not to go in and learn the system... cause he gonna have to go play and learn on the job and he is unemployed next year...  but you may be right... wanting to skip training camp is not unheard of...

Dolphins and dumpster diving players the Bills are done with... Name a more iconic duo.

[The Cincinnati Kid]

Good for him.

[boater]

Thurman Thomas and Jordan Poyer had thoroughly unenjoyable final years with the Dolphins. Douglas is in for the same, that is how it works.

He’s past the “prove it deal” part of his career and well into the “sign with whatever team is desperate enough to give you a one-year deal” phase.  There are worse places to be 30 years old and wealthy than Miami.

Bottom of the barrel emergency signing by the Dolphins who must think their secondary really sucks.

Here's the thing. With all our injuries at CB, we didn't bring him back. That should say all there is to know about where Douglas is as a talent now. 

 

Allen is licking his chops. 

[transient]

This confirms he's washed...

[DallasBillsFan1]

Sh*t man, he's gonna give them our whole playbook.

[Bangarang]

Keon fist pumping right now

[Fleezoid]

Hope he gifts us a first down on a bad penalty. 

[RyanC883]

this is great news.  Is he a projected starter there?  (nothing against him personally, just he's not great anymore)

Good for him ... Not so good for the Dolphins ... Good for us.

[boyst]

anyone listen to WGR this morning?

listening to the morning show they are doing a draft of former players who will re-sign with the Bills.

 

... the first pick they did was Rasul Douglas. just an hour later he was reported he signed with the Fins. lol

The Bills know Rasul Douglas’ weaknesses very well and that is the exact reason they didn’t sign him. Allen is going to have a field day against this Dolphins D, but that’s been the norm since he came in the league.
