Green Bay Packers Trade Update – Packers on the Verge of Write-off After Shipping Cornerback to the Bills

The Green Bay Packers recently lost to the Minnesota Vikings in a 24-10 game. So far, this has been the 4 consecutive loss for the Green Bay team. But, they did something that is not very befitting to their situation. It’s something that has even shocked the Packers fans.  However, it might come as good news for CB Rasul Douglas and the Buffalo Bills, as the trade deadline evolved into a blessing for the Bills.

The Packers officially traded Douglas to the Bills’ already competitive roster. And while this update has raised a lot of eyebrows, Rob Demovsky has definitely not shied away from putting forth his analysis. This has, in fact, given way to many questions about the franchise. The popular stance is that this odd decision might just cost the Packers an opportunity to enter the Super Bowl, or at least be considered a legit Super Bowl contender.

Packers-Bills trade off exchange

It was the year 2021 that witnessed Rasul Douglas move to the Packers camp after being selected off a practice squad. Interestingly, since then, he has been able to provide five interceptions in a leading front, little more than half a season. Alas! This match-up has come to an end now.

According to ESPN, the Green Bay Packers decided to ship Rasul Douglas to the Buffalo Bills. However, this trade has come with its own terms and conditions. In exchange for Douglas and a fifth-round pick, a third-round pick from the Bills has been traded to the Packers. It is salient to note that the deal took place after the Packers lost to the Vikings with two touchdowns.

This loss led Douglas to put forth some strong comments. He had been frustrated with the team for some time now as he mentioned in one of his interviews, “I’m thinking about it like, bro, I’ve never been a loser in my life. These last two years have been f—ing loser.”  His concluding statement to this frustration was that something needed to be done. Well! Looking at his trade to Bills it appears that something surely has been done!

Consequently, the cornerback’s trade has been a shocker for the whole NFL because instead of bolstering their O-Line, the Packers decided to get rid of one of the key players in their roster. Though some may say that the Packers are playing a long game after they traded Douglas and a fifth-round pick to the Bills.

Now, the Packers are left with their 1st-round pick, which is subject to change. Next, a second-round pick which they got in exchange for Aaron Rodgers, and a third-round pick which they currently acquired from the Bills.

It’s like the Packers owner does not care about the current season and is worried about the future. Alas, this has give the Bills what they’ve needed all this time.

The trade is a boon to the Buffalo Bills

The Bills have been struggling with their CB and it is common knowledge. This trade is a massive help to the Bills as it might help them to get into the playoffs, to say the least. The Packers will be deploying the rookie Carrington Valentine in exchange for Rasul Douglas. Jaire Alexander will be playing as Valentine’s counterpart. Also, because the CB Eric Stokes will be on the IR for a couple more weeks.

The Bills lost Tre’Davious White due to his Achilles injury in week 4 of the regular season. The thing is, White has been a monumental presence for the Bills, and losing him has cost the Bills a lot. The Bills have seen massive changes in their scoring and passing stats ever since White was benched. This is a perfect opportunity to make up for it as they signed Douglas to the arsenal.

The veteran’s experience and his success with zone coverage will help the Bills prosper in the 2023 season. What do you think about the Packers’ decision to trade Douglas? Let us know below.
