The Miami Dolphins are in a transitional phase after their recent trade involving star cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Dolphins are now eyeing potential veteran acquisitions, with a particular focus on cornerback Rasul Douglas, who previously played for the Buffalo Bills after a trade from the Green Bay Packers. Douglas had an impressive season last year, accumulating 87 tackles and 13 pass deflections, although he did allow four touchdowns, raising concerns among analysts.

With the Dolphins’ depth chart featuring younger players like Kader Kohou and rookie Jason Marshall Jr., Douglas could provide the much-needed veteran leadership and experience. Reports suggest that negotiations with Douglas are advancing, and there may be a contract agreement soon. Other notable cornerbacks on the market include Stephon Gilmore, Mike Hilton, Asante Samuel Jr., and James Bradberry, each potentially adding value to the Dolphins’ defense. With around $14 million in cap space, Miami has the flexibility to secure a short-term deal for Douglas, ensuring that their secondary is fortified ahead of the upcoming season.
