CBS Sports's Zachary Pereles argued veteran cornerback Rasul Douglas as a fit to return for the Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers added cornerback Benjamin St-Juste in NFL free agency. But CBS Sports’s Zachary Pereles still sees the position group as a major need. To fill that need, the CBS analyst sees the Packers considering a reunion with Rasul Douglas.
This week, Pereles identified cornerback as Green Bay’s biggest position to improve. Tasked with naming one free agent to fill the void, the CBS analyst picked Doulas, who played for the Packers from 2021-23.
“The Packers could look to improve upon the offensive line or the pass rush, but cornerback remains a major area of need,” Pereles wrote. “They signed Benjamin St-Juste, who had a nice 2025 with the Chargers but struggled before that. It’s still a need.
“Douglas played well for the Dolphins in 2025 and had previously been with Green Bay. Ponds was a national championship game hero. Green Bay does not have a first-round pick.”
Douglas spent parts of three seasons with the Packers. He’s only appeared in more games for the Philadelphia Eagles during his career.
The past two seasons since leaving Green Bay, Douglas has played for the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins. During 2025, he registered 62 combined tackles with 13 pass defenses and two interceptions in 15 games for Miami.
With the Dolphins, he started 13 games. From 2021-23, Douglas started 28 games for the Packers, which is the most he’s had with any NFL team.
According to Spotrac, Douglas has earned about $26.8 million during his nine-year NFL career.
