Free-agent cornerback Rasul Douglas is planning to sign a one-year contract with the Washington Commanders, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The deal is reportedly worth up to $3.8 million as the veteran defender joins the Washington secondary for the upcoming season.
Douglas spent the previous season with the Miami Dolphins, where he served as a consistent presence in their defensive backfield. During his tenure in Miami, he started 13 games, providing veteran experience to the unit. His addition to the Commanders roster is expected to provide immediate depth and competition at the cornerback position.
The move marks a return to the NFC East for the veteran. Douglas was originally entered the league as a third-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2017 NFL Draft. After beginning his career in Philadelphia, he has spent time with several organizations, establishing himself as a reliable starter in the league. Now, he returns to a familiar division to help bolster a Washington defense looking to make an impact.
