The Washington Commanders are making an interesting roster move to shore up their secondary in early July.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Commanders are signing a 30-year-old former Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl champion to a one-year prove-it contract.
“Free agent CB Rasul Douglas is planning to sign a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders worth up to $3.8 million, Schefter reported Monday. “Douglas, 30, signed with the Miami Dolphins after 53-man roster cuts and played 15 games last season.’
"While he began the season behind Jack Jones and Storm Duck, he was inserted into the starting lineup after an injury to Duck in Week 1 and established himself as the team's top cornerback by season's end.”
“He missed two games with foot and ankle injuries but returned in Week 13 with interceptions in two consecutive games. In total, he was targeted 82 times in 2025, allowing 54 catches for 515 yards and three touchdowns. He also defended 13 passes, which tied for the second most in any single season of his career.”
Douglas has enjoyed a solid nine-year NFL career thus far. In addition to winning a Super Bowl with the Eagles as a rookie, the West Virginia product has recorded 50+ tackles seven times and at least one interception on eight occasions.
Douglas’s three-year stint with the Green Bay Packers in the early 2020s was undoubtedly the best stretch of his career, as he recorded 174 tackles, 10 interceptions, one sack, and one forced fumble in 36 contests.
Douglas finished with 62 tackles, two interceptions, one sack, and one forced fumble with the Dolphins this past season. The veteran cornerback is poised to be a solid addition to a Commanders squad that could use all the defensive help it can get.
