You would think Packers would have learned what happened last time Bills got one of their CBs.  

Hyde has a Hyde, Jr.

 I don't know who some of them are but we have six CB's (according to espns roster) that are 6'1" or taller.

 

Maybe we have a WR we convert to DB - worked well for George Wilson.

The Bills have agreed to terms to acquire Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas via a trade.

 

Buffalo is sending a 2024 3rd-round pick to Green Bay in exchange for Douglas and a 2024 5th-round pick.

 

At 6-foot-2, 209 pounds, Douglas is a physical and big-bodied defensive back with experience playing on the perimeter and in the slot. After getting signed by Green Bay in 2021, Douglas has recorded 10 interceptions, 32 pass breakups and 174 tackles.

 

Through seven games with the Packers this season, Douglas has one interception, six passes defended and 32 total tackles.

I just remember them really liking him pre draft for some reason and him going earlier than it seemed he would. Really good scheme fit. And he’s an aggressive energy player, which is a good thing. He brings an edge to the defense. 

Won a ring with Philly had 9 picks in last 2.5 seasons … ok ok

Here's a great play from Douglas - Game sealing INT against the 7-0 Cardinals with 15 seconds left, handing them their first loss of the season!

 

Edit: Go to 27:13 in the video. You'll have to click the link since the NFL is stingy about their clips 😅

Douglas is basically like Diggs personality on the D side of the ball...he is going to fit in so well here.

 

 

Which is going to be great, especially with some of our other leaders out with injury & Von still working his way back into the swing of things.

 

Obviously we still have Hyde & Poyer, but it'll be good to have another highly motivated, highly competitive guy in that locker room.

I hope this guy is on the field Sunday night.

Age. Cap space. Stockpiling picks. Not a core player.

 

They plucked him off a practice squad. Signed him to one deal which they re-structured. And then flipped him for a 3rd. Perhaps simply time to cash the investment.

Not many in their fanbase would agree however.

Saying anything during that era work ‘well’ is extremely generous

They realized they don’t have a franchise QB and they need more picks to get the best one they can

Seems cool we got a vocal leader type. D needs that. 

[Low Positive]

At least we know that he's not gonna complain about the cold weather.

No reason why he shouldn’t be.

straight to practice squad, might be an emergency call up in ‘24

McDermott wants him to learn the defense first 

[BuffaloBill]

The Bills really have a thing for long players.  

 

 

Locked on Packers podcaster not pleased with the trade

21 and 22 the guy put up 13 pd's and 4 plus picks and a forced fumble per year.  He even had 2 TD's to boot.  Whatever he did before that I don't care.  He's proven that he get's it and that in the right defense he's a problem for offenses.  If he fits this defense he looks like a great starter and he seems like a perfect fit.

And that poster isn’t part of our fan base. They need or like attention so come to another’s teams board to make snarky comments, I feel bad for them really.

That doesn't Gibe with PFF's coverage grade ranking him 12th.  I wonder if being the closest defender even playing zone counts as being targeted.  

 

I like PFF and what they do, but their ratings for certain positions are terrible. CB rankings are as bad as you get because they only grade plays where the CB’s coverage responsibility is targeted by a pass (which is absurd IMO). I’m not ripping the move or player, just PFF’s CB ratings. 

 

For the record I’m glad we made at least one move. Douglas should be able to help. He’s a competent, experienced mid-tier starter at CB, which is among the things we needed. While we gave up a fairly valuable 3rd round draft pick, at least we got back GB’s 5th.

He can't go to the PS.  He could get signed by another team.

Well, we don't officially have the comp pick for Edmunds yet, and won't until later, so as of this point in time it doesn't exist. It's our current 3rd pick.

 

It’s being reported by multiple sources that the 49ers traded one of their two upcoming 3rd round comp picks for Chase Young.

So maybe you can trade them before they are officially issued? Unless it’s being reported wrong. I know they changed the rules 5-6 years ago to allow teams to trade comp picks but I don’t know the specific rules on it.

SF will get compensatory 3rds for Demeco Ryan going to Houston as their HC.  So that pick is a certainty.
