He's just not a difference maker. Good fit - and I hoped last year the Bills would have a shot at him in free agency. Certainly wouldn't have surrendered a 3rd rd pick for him. Quote

The Wiz Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Just now, BillsFan4 said: My favorite way of looking at the trade compensation: Â we got Rasul Douglas and a 5th for letting Tremaine Edmunds walk (3rd round comp pick). Â I am assuming the Bills traded their own 3rd and not the comp pick, but it still kind of holds true since we will still have a 3rd this year from Edmunds. They can't trade the 3rd rd comp pick since it hasn't been award to them yet so yes, it's just their normal 3rd rd pick and we will still get a comp at some point. 1 Quote

He made some big plays for green Bay when they signed him as a FA a couple years ago. He's not going to be our #1 but this is a very solid add to a room that would be crippled if 47 or 30 went down He should end up CB2 in a few weeks 1 Quote
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Anyone who's never heard of Rasul Douglas might as well just admit that they don't follow the league outside of the Bills. 1 1 3 Quote

NewEra Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 27 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: I think it’s solid pickup but people know pff is based on nothing really. They assume coverages/ defenses. They don’t fact in game situations (like the Pack losing a lot this year) and don’t adjust for receivers you’re covering (Alexander is their number 1 cb). It’s a nice tool I guess but can be all types of misleading.  that said, if there is one area where I will blindly trust McDermott is defensive back. I wonder what the price for Johnson was? Johnson had two prices and that why he wasn’t traded imo.  The bears set a high price and his contract was up + he reportedly wants really big bucks.  we traded down 50ish picks and got a solid versatile corner that excels in zone.  2 minutes ago, Airseven said:  He certainly doesn't suck.

This year if Jackson or Benford go down we got Josh Norman. This is a solid pick up and if Tre does come back, a potentially great CB tandem. 1 Quote
BillsFan130 Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Love this trade. I wonder by not getting a DT or LB that the bills are confident in at least one of Jones/Milano returning at some point 1 1 Quote

PayDaBill$ Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 Solid player that cost very little, not sure how you could complain. Quote

Billzgobowlin Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 So who is the lead CB now. Benford or Douglas? Quote

BillsFan4 Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Just now, NoSaint said: plus whatever we spend the cap space savings on as well Good point!  and they replaced Edmunds with a much cheaper LB that’s played very well. Edited October 31, 2023 by BillsFan4 Quote
BeastMaster Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Rasul Douglas isn't the most gifted corner, but he has size, length, toughness, and a knack for making timely plays.  He will lose some battles, but he will also keep fighting and will make you pay if you make a mistake  Bottom line is he helps and getting back a 5th makes it a fine deal Edited October 31, 2023 by BeastMaster 2 Quote

You have rumors that his career is over, but then why aren't they ruling him out for the year? We also know he's back around the team. 1 Quote
Johnnycage46 Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 It will be fun to see him not play for like 6 weeks lol. McD seems to not trust players unless they have been here a few years. Quote
