The Dallas Cowboys have one remaining spot on their offseason roster. A to Z Sports Mauricio Rodriguez made clear this past weekend that he sees the Cowboys filling the spot with a defender. Rodriguez named veteran cornerback Rasul Douglas as an option.
Rodriguez included Douglas on a list of five potential free agent targets for the Cowboys on Saturday.
“I’m not so sure the Cowboys will be looking into Douglas a whole lot but I would. He would immediately be a part of Dallas’ position battle at outside cornerback, which is seemingly up for grabs between Cobie Durant and Shavon Revel Jr.,” wrote Rodriguez.
“Nothing wrong with adding Douglas to the mix, who has 93 starts under his belt and two interceptions in 2025.”
Douglas played parts of three seasons for the Green Bay Packers. With the team from 2021-23, he experienced some of the best success of his career.
Last season, Douglas posted 62 combined tackles, 13 pass defenses and two interceptions with the Miami Dolphins.
Why the Cowboys Could Target CB Rasul Douglas
The A to Z Sports writer appears to clearly see Douglas as a potential upgrade for the Cowboys.
Once again, DaRon Bland will start at one cornerback spot for Dallas this season. If added to the roster, Douglas could start on the opposite side.
The Cowboys already added Cobie Durant in NFL free agency to probably start with Bland. As Rodriguez indicated, Shavon Revel Jr. could play there as well.
Dallas also selected Florida cornerback Devin Moore in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
With his experience, though, Douglas presents a potential upgrade over all of those options.
In addition to his 93 starts, Douglas has appeared in 135 games overall. He has averaged about 56 combined tackles, 10 pass defenses and two interceptions per season.
Douglas started more games for the Packers than any other team in his career. He intercepted five passes for Green Bay in 2021. Douglas again reached five interceptions while playing for the Packers and Buffalo Bills during 2023.
The cornerback started his career with the Philadelphia Eagles. He has also played for the Carolina Panthers.
Other Potential Cowboys Free Agent Targets
Douglas was just one of five possible free agent targets Rodriguez argued could be options for the Cowboys.
The other four were linebacker Bobby Wagner, linebacker Germaine Pratt, cornerback Adoree’ Jackson and slot cornerback Kenny Moore II.
Wagner and Moore have been popular potential targets for Dallas through rumors this offseason. Pratt and Jackson could also be options with the Cowboys trying to completely overhaul their defense this offseason.
Dallas finished 30th in yards allowed and last in scoring defense during the 2025 campaign. The Cowboys were near the bottom of the barrel in a lot of other categories too, including pass defense.
To begin fixing the unit, the Cowboys made multiple trades and signed several free agent defenders this spring. In the NFL Draft, they picked safety Caleb Downs and edge rusher Malachi Lawrence during the first round.
The Cowboys defense should be better this season. But adding another veteran cornerback such as Douglas would make the unit stronger.
