‘And contractually, the Bills are only on the hook for a little more than $800,000 in base salary for 2023. That figure rises dramatically in 2024 as he has $9 million owed to him in the last season of a three-year, $21 million contract he signed with Green Bay in 2022. But if the Bills are interested in keeping Douglas, they can certainly re-work the terms via a contract extension.’

Three things to know about Rasul Douglas, Bills newly acquired cornerback
‘The Eagles waived Douglas at the end of 2020 training camp and it took him a while to find a niche. He hooked on with the Panthers and wound up starting 11 of 14 games with 62 tackles and nine pass breakups, and then in 2021 he was signed and eventually cut by both the Raiders and Texans, then was signed by the Cardinals to their practice squad.’
Bills officially sign running back Leonard Fournette to practice squad
‘The Bills have a young running back in James Cook who is having a nice season with 486 yards rushing and 192 yards receiving, so if he does sign and gets called up to the 53-man roster, it will be interesting to see what role Fournette would have. Clearly, he would replace 33-year-old Latavius Murray as the backup as Murray hasn’t been all that impactful for Buffalo.’
