Rasul Douglas to Bills - per Rap

[DrDawkinstein]

Not sure if it's been posted, but here's the thread from r/NFL

 

Comments are interesting. A LOT of upset Packers fans, and a lot of happy NFC North fans. Seems like at least on paper, the Bills won this trade.

Remember only paper important is the paper contract written in and the paper of the money players get paid in.

I love the fact that the Pack was not offering up this guy at all and it was Beane that made the call to see if they could get him.

Well he's no Levi Wallace, but I guess I'll take it 😏

 

Levi is hard to replace.

Seriously?  Brett Favre also once played for the Packers.  Former NFL quarterback.

 

Who?

 

He is dead to me.

Not even Leodis could fill Levi's cleats.

Especially for next year. "Unguaranteed base salary" effectively means that the Bills get first negotiating rights. There are so many ways to change that number: outright cuts, pay cuts, extension, conversion to void years

Have to wonder if the Packers wanted to do him a solid.

 

Locker room leader, a guy beloved in the community and having his best year to date..

 

However, he is 28 and likely not a part of their rebuild, so maybe they wanted to do right by him when Beane made the call.

What?!?!? You don't  know every player in every uniform for all NFL teams....I DO *pat yourself on proverbial back*

 

Gimme a Break. Who cares what I know or what I don't . Noone knows Everythiing.

 

this is Two BILLS Drive not Two NFL Drive.

 

Im really not trying to be salty but that opinion  reads condescending to me just sayin' 

Lol, people aren't saying that because innocent little flowers are coming to the thread saying "oh hmm, a trade! I can't say I've heard of this player, might you teach me?"

 

They are saying it because the usual suspects are saying "wow I never heard of this guy typical Beane! Bills suck!" 

 

It is a reasonable reaction to that sort of thing lol.

I mean he made a really nice INT against Allen last year...

Yes and many others. Like I said, if people watch enough football and I mean watch every week SNF and MNF since the Packers get a lot, you know who Rasul Douglas is. If you don't, you aren't watching enough 

[Sestak4ever]

Has been a good game closer. 6 interceptions in the 4th quarter and in OT since 2021.

Yeah he's a great fit.

 

Doesn't help their lack of a WR2........and that's been a huge factor for teams reaching SB's for a long time now...........but they should get good play from Rasul next year as well so even if it's ultimately for naught this year Douglas isn't just a 1/2 season rental.

[SCBills]

The talk this morning from the Packers reporter stating Douglas is a guy who should transition to Safety very well later in his career is pretty interesting..

I don’t know that it’s really that we won. I think it’s two teams needing to do different things because their clubs are in different spots. 
 

I’m very happy with the deal, and Packers fans do seem bummed, but, if they were being honest with themselves, the 3rd and money savings will be better for the long run.  The Packers realistically have no shot at competing for anything meaningful during the years Douglas was signed for.  Win-win.

Serious question:  what was your take on the play of Shakir and Gabe last Thursday, as well as Kincaid's productivity?

I wondered that myself. It would seem a natural progression with his size and ability to pick off the ball.
