Veteran cornerback Rasul Douglas has openly shared his eagerness to return to the Green Bay Packers, stating that all it would take is an invitation from the team. Douglas, known for his tenacity and playmaking ability, made a significant impact during his tenure with the Packers, particularly in the 2021 season after being acquired midseason from the Arizona Cardinals.
In a recent interview, Douglas reflected on his time in Green Bay, highlighting the camaraderie and support he felt within the organization. "Green Bay felt like home," he said. "The fans, the team, the culture—it’s something special. If the Packers called, I’d be ready to come back in a heartbeat."
Douglas, who has also played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Carolina Panthers, and most recently the Buffalo Bills, showcased his value as a reliable defensive back during his stint with the Packers. In 2021, he recorded 52 tackles, five interceptions, and two defensive touchdowns, earning praise for his ability to lock down opposing receivers. His chemistry with the defensive unit and knack for big plays made him a fan favorite at Lambeau Field.
Now a free agent, the 30-year-old cornerback remains confident in his abilities and believes he can still contribute to a contending team. "I know what I bring to the table," Douglas stated. "I’m ready to help a team win, and I’d love for that to be Green Bay again."
The Packers, who are looking to bolster their secondary as they aim for a deep playoff run, could benefit from Douglas’s experience and familiarity with their defensive scheme. While no official discussions have been confirmed, Douglas’s comments have sparked excitement among Packers fans hopeful for a reunion.
As the NFL offseason progresses, all eyes will be on whether the Packers extend that coveted invitation to bring the veteran cornerback back to Titletown.
