Free agent cornerback Rasul Douglas plans to sign a one-year deal with the Washington Commanders worth up to $3.8 million. Douglas, 30, joined the Miami Dolphins after final roster cuts last season and appeared in 15 games. He began the year behind Jack Jones and Storm Duck on the depth chart but entered the starting lineup in Week 1 after Duck suffered an injury.
He missed two games with foot and ankle injuries, returned in Week 13, and recorded interceptions in consecutive contests. Douglas was targeted 82 times and allowed 54 catches for 515 yards and three touchdowns. He defended 13 passes, tying for the second-highest total in any single season of his career.
He earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors in Week 14 after defending five passes and intercepting a pass against the New York Jets. In 2025 he finished with 62 tackles, two interceptions and 13 pass breakups in 15 games with 13 starts. Over nine NFL seasons he has started 93 games for the Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills.
His career totals include 503 tackles, 92 pass deflections and 21 interceptions in 135 games.
